#Floods, #heatwaves and supercharged #hurricanes occurred in hottest #climate human society has ever experienced
#WMO's report on 2024, hottest year on record. Heatwaves in Japan left hundreds of thousands of people struck down by heatstroke. Soaring temps during heatwaves peaked at 49.9C at Carnarvon in Western Australia, 49.7C in city of Tabas in Iran, and 48.5C in nationwide heatwave in Mali.

Layoffs and potential closures of key facilities raise worries about NOAA's future

"That NOAA contractor also told NPR that the potential closure of the Maryland weather forecasting facility is especially concerning. "Anything that is getting canceled with the weather program is a terrible idea," the contractor says. "Loss of an entire facility would hamper our ability to do our jobs, predict the weather properly, help protect people and property."

McLean says if lease terminations happen, that would be "remarkably stupid," and that a closure in Maryland could mean the agency would have trouble providing accurate forecasts that serve a wide swath of people from mariners to pilots.  McLean says the products at the College Park facility "are distributed to the weather forecast offices across the country.""

…#Trump called for the convening of a committee of high-level officials nicknamed the God Squad because it can override the landmark #EndangeredSpecies Act so that development or other projects can proceed even if they might result in an #extinction.

The cmte has rarely been convened since it was created, in 1978, through an amendment to the endangered species #law to allow for action during emergencies like #hurricanes & #wildfires.

"“In the wake of hundreds of layoffs at the National Weather Service, we would advise citizens to listen for the gentle tinkling of these wind chimes to gauge whether a tornado, flash flood, or other severe storm system is drawing near,” said NOAA spokesperson Andrea Kopit, expressing the administration’s hope that the characteristic jingling of the chimes in the breeze would provide information as accurate as that gathered from the former network of weather satellites, Doppler radar systems, and aircraft observation overseen by 12,000 staff members in an effort to prevent catastrophic property damage and casualties.

Decades of data reveal #hurricanes' unexpected benefit to rare Florida butterfly phys.org/news/2025-02-decades- paper: sciencedirect.com/science/arti

"Their survival relies on two known larval host #plants: torchwood and wild lime... They occupy the forest's #understory, and after a #hurricane, they explode with fresh leaf shoots, which are the preferred food of Schaus's swallowtail #caterpillars... After the hurricanes temporarily knock out their bigger, taller competitors, the host plants flourish."

Message to the "House of Mica"

The Hopi had prophesied that the world leaders would gather in a Great House of Mica to try and find peaceful solutions to world problems.

In 1948, Hopi elders ranging in ages from 80 to 100, tried to bring their message to the newly formed United Nations, but were unsuccessful. They had seen the "#GourdOfAshes" (#AtomicBombs) many years ago, and knew that it was time to bring their message to the world. #ThomasBanyacya of the Wolf, Fox and Coyote clan, was one of four messengers chosen by the Elders, and in 1992 he finally succeeded.

In his 1992 address to the United Nations, Banyacya predicted increasing #floods, stronger #hurricanes, #ClimateChanges and #earthquakes, which are warning signs from the Creator for us to wake up spiritually.

He spoke of a possible third world war, which some Hopi believe almost began with the Persian Gulf War, something that is looming on the horizon yet again. They say this is a time for all to choose peace.

Banyacya also brought up the sanctity of the #FourCorners area, and said it had "a special purpose in the future in order for humankind to survive."

Another part of the Hopi message spoke of the importance of conducting ceremonies to prevent terrible earth changes. Singing, dancing and fasting are all part of the necessary work to help heal Mother Earth. Banyacya spoke of conducting ceremonies in each of the four directions -- something Chief #ArvolLookinghorse has been doing for the last three years with the #WorldPeaceAndPrayerDay ceremonies.

Last year, Banyacya spoke with some #PeruvianElders who wanted to share their prophecies that soon all indigenous people would come together as one nation.

Unfortunately, he will not see this dream realized in this lifetime, as he passed away this past February at the age of 89.

Another elder involved in the United Nations message was #DanKachenogva, the Chief of the Sun Clan who passed away in 1972. He was one of a six-man delegation which planned to travel to the United Nations in 1959 to try and deliver their message of prophecy. Their mission was cut short when a crisis erupted in the Hopi motherland because of the betrayal of Indian-U.S. land treaties.

Two years before he died, he gave a public talk regarding the prophecies. Regarding the third and decisive event of the prophecy he stated, "This [third] event will depend upon the Red Symbol, which will take command, setting the four forces of nature (Meha) in motion for the benefit of the Sun. We know certain people are commissioned to bring about the #Purification. It is the universal Plan from the beginning of creation, and we are looking up to them to bring purification to us. It is in the rock writings throughout the world, on different continents. We will come together if people all over the world know about it. So we urge you to spread this word around so people will know about it, and the appointed ones will hurry up with their task..." (from "The Return of Pahana: a Hopi Myth," by Robert Boissiere, Bear & Co., 1990.)

"#DukeEnergy is asking utility regulators in #Florida to approve the recovery of around $1.1 billion in “direct costs” from the utility’s massive response to major #hurricanes in 2024.

Earlier this month, the Florida Public Service Commission granted Florida Power & Light’s request to recover $1.2 billion in storm recovery costs tied to hurricanes Debby, Helene, and Milton."

A year of extreme weather that challenged billions

#Climate change has brought record-breaking heat this year, and with it #ExtremeWeather, from #hurricanes to month-long #droughts.

This year is expected to be the hottest on record, and new research shows that people around the world experienced an additional 41 days of dangerous heat due to #ClimateChange.

Is it possible to calculate how much damage climate change has on a single storm? A team of scientists says yes after developing a model that allows them to calculate how warming ocean temperatures have contributed directly to wind speeds in individual hurricanes. Read more from Nautilus Magazine:
