Catastrophic Events

Severe Storms: Called Different Names, But The Same

News Analysis: Severe Storms, are called ‘Cyclones’, ‘Hurricanes’, or ‘Typhoons’ [CHT’s]. The names are interchangeable.

‘CHT’s’ may increase both in Intensity and Number in coming years due to Climate Change. Friday’s Gigantic Storm in the Philippines may be evidence of this.

They are largely a product of increased energy variations in the atmosphere as well as growth in moisture content. Since there is less Ice at the Poles, water vapor has accelerated. This, added to a slight increase in Global Warming, assist in ‘CHT’ Formation. 

The Adversity posed by these ‘CHT’ Events pose Opportunities to Investors around the world. Technologies to be developed, once funded by Entrepreneurs, can help minimize the weather hazard effects. Individuals typically provide funding much quicker than Governments. Their quick economic actions can translate into many benefits for the public  exposed to the chance of ‘CHT’ Exposure.

A Melted Ice View of the World

News Analysis:  “National Geographic” has done a commendable job of researching the ‘What If” of Rampant Global Warming: Melting of the World’s Ice. This Well-Executed Cartographic Representation of Potentialities should, at a minimum, give people insight into a hypothetical Climate Disaster. It should be studied by all.

Entrepreneurs may use this data for ‘Think-Tank’ Projects as to possible Capital Expenditures For Earning Revenues  in certain geographies of the world; to spur economic “Out-Of-The Box” thinking, if nothing else.

Meteor, Like One Over Chelyabinsk, Siberia, Much More Common than Thought

News Analysis:  Assumptions made by Astronomers, in this case, by Telescopic Observation primarily, have grossly skewed conclusions about Collisions-With-Earth Frequency. Rather than also incorporating two-decades old widely-known Technology from U.S. Government and Infrasound Sensors globally, it appears they did not. The maxim “Trust, But Verify” was dispensed with?

Fortunately, others, not carrying the baggage of ‘Assured Conclusions’, are using the additional Sensor Technology, to seek the truth.  They are a credit to Science.

The estimated Frequency, as well as Energy Release of Meteors approaching us at, per Radar Data, 11 Miles a second (63,730 KPH) [39,600 MPH], demands analysis NOW.

Another interesting element of the “Chelyabinsk Meteor Occurrence” is that there appears to be  a lack of public discussion, in written form, about this Detonation and ANY Electromagnetic Pulse [EMP] Emanations. Would not Physics Ph.D.’s of the world even want to conjecture about such a possibility? Is such a subject about Induced Plasmas beyond the contemplation of global militaries?

If further analysis verifies the increase in possible occurrences of Meteors to Earth, then funding must be forthcoming; it is in the interest of everyone on Earth.

The Chelyabinsk Meteor Occurrence was an event to behold.

Spain Appraised of Potential Tsunami Havoc

News Analysis:  The results of Seismic activity in the Atlantic Ocean,  or to a lessen extent in the Mediterranean Sea, causes concern about resultant Water-Energy Damage to the country. The good news is that Spaniards and their Government can take counter-measures presently, to negate future damage. As a point of reference, beyond the tragedy of the tsunami in Indonesia in 2004, one should consider the American “Hurricane Sandy” debacle which took place. Both New Jersey and New York, as well as United States Government officials, were not prepared for it [even though a probability for it existed, due to global weather changes of which they knew]. Subsequent to the event occurring, and up to the present, there has been an abysmal failure of leadership. For example, U.S. Federal Monies, given to support banks in 2008, some of which could  have been set aside for havocs like “Hurricane Sandy”. The lack of “Rainy Day Funds” at the Federal and State level, has now hurt the very citizens the officials vowed to protect. The affected areas still need billions of promised dollars.

Tsunamis AND severe storms must be considered by the Spanish Government so it moves pro-actively to help its citizens. It should not want to copy the  approach conducted by American Federal and State Leaders.

Splitting Soil Endangers Farmers’ Lives and Production Capacities

News Analysis:  Rifts [Splitting of the soil] occurring to farmers in Yemen are causing them anguish since the ability to farm the areas is diminished as well as possibly dangerous to all. The continued flow of water emanating from seepage in canals can easily get worse. It is possible that a great profusion of water, over time, might create Sinkholes.

The lack of engineering controls by the Yemeni Government, in Sana’a, exacerbates the problem. One would expect the Yemeni Government to being receptive to investors who could provide funding for Agronomists, Geologists, Hydrologists being hired. These specialists could come from world universities as graduate students needing subject matter to work on.

Turning the area into a fertile productive agricultural area, maintained by the hard-working Yemenis, would provide long term profits to said investors.

Citizens of Yemen in general, farmers in particular as well as both the Yemeni Government and graduate students would all benefit from this process.

Profits go to he who leads the followers, not he who follows the leaders.
