Why is there still global extreme flooding if El Nino has finished?

A look at the current bizarre weather that the world is STILL experiencing in July 2016 with a focus on Global Extreme Flooding, AFTER the infamous El Nino effect has apparently subsided and we are now heading into what scientists are calling La Nina which is the exact opposite of El Nino but doesn't kick in until later this year?. Apparently El Nino peaked roundabout Feb 2016 which means it's been in decline ever since.

Personally I never bought into this media touting of El Nino which was the explanation for any bizarre weather patterns taking place during 2015 and up to now in 2016. It was used as a scapegoat for Natural Disasters and Extreme Weather which were explained away by "It's nothing to worry about, it's just El Nino and it will pass". doesn't explain the rise in Sinkholes, Earthquakes and Volcanic activity though does i?

Well here we are in July 2016 and granted we are not seeing Tropical Cyclones and Hurricanes of the size and intensity as "Patricia" but the headlines are still coming in thick and fast and especially when it comes to floodings. Virgina and China being two recent cases, Texas another and relatively dry areas such as Nevada seeing flash flooding on an unprecendented scale. Freaky giant hail is still occurring, and at the other end of the scale wildfires and drought are still on the rampage, the apocalyptic Fort McMurray wildfire being a recent case in point..

Some regions of the world do experience flooding especially in Asia and they have Monsoon Seasons, some areas do experience drought and wildfires on an annual basis such as Australia and California. These are a given! But it's the sheer ferocity of this extreme weather that is out of character and a vast deviation from the norm that is the concern here with records being smashed. The recent Chinese floodings smashed all records and when you watch a video of a 74 year old Chinese Woman nearly in tears surrounded by water saying she has lived there all her life and has never seen rain and floods like this in her lifetime..........you realise that something is not quite right here............something is going on!

Some of the recent headlines. These are all just the last few weeks from 4 June 2016 to July 2016. We are talking just over a month here. This was a quick skim, there's probably way way more! All these floods are characterised by continous prolonged heavy rain and rising water levels at frightening rates, so fast it's difficult to even evacuate in time.

So what's going on?

A Press Release from the Home World Meteorological Organization Dated February 2016

Press Release Number: 3
The powerful 2015-2016 El Niño has passed its peak but remains strong and will continue to influence the global climate, according to the latest update from the World Meteorological Organization. It is expected to weaken in the coming months and fade away during the second quarter of 2016.

Further details: 

The second quarter of 2016 would equate to April-June 2016. We are now in July and in terms of flooding it looks like things have remained unchanged with flooding on a biblical scale still common around the globe. Things are not exactly fading away are they. So regardless of the respected source......srcap that theory,

What other explanations are out there?

How about La Nina which is supposed to be in the ascendant in the third quarter onwards this year. Has it arrived early??

The La Nina a Definition:

La Niña is the positive phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation and is associated with cooler than average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.

Basically La Nina is the exact opposite of El Nino. In layman terms the areas that experienced drought and wildfires during El Nino will experience heavy rain and flooding during La Nina. Those areas of the world that experienced heavy rains and flooding during El Nino will experience drought and possible wildfires during La Nina. In short it's the Polar opposite effect.

I'm not buying that theory either as I never bought into El Nino.

How about some good old Conspiracy Theory??. Have a watch of the video below?



As kooky and Conspiracy Theory based as this videos explanation is, Weather Weapons to me is the only one that seems to make any sense and the jigsaw pieces fit. I gave up searching on You Tube and Google for anything else, there just didn't seem to be any rational explanation out there?

So what does the Bible have to say about floods in "The End Times" . Does it have the answer?

An important thing to note is that firstly after the floods in the times of Noah in the Old Testament a covenant was made by God never to totally flood the world again.

Genesis 9:15
And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

The emphasis is on the word "totally" and in the Bible quote "All" that doesn't mean there will be more localised floods next time around.

The New Testament carries a warning that when the Son of Man appears again (Jesus), people will be eating and drinking, marrying and giving up in marriage just as they did right up to the day when Noah went into the ark. Everything was normal, in other words, for those who were unaware of God’s intentions. However, for Noah and his family, it was clear that the time was coming when God would bring all of creation to an end.

Luke 17:26-27
"And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

That Chapter goes on to mention the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in pretty much the same breath!

The current and continued flooding around the world. What is the best explanation. El Nino?, La Nina?, Weather Weapons? OR the Bible. You decide!

On a final note an hour long video looking at floods with video commentary that maybe sheds some light or totally confuses the issue even further?

Wildfires and their devastating effect. The facts

The devastating effects of Wildfires

An in depth look at the recent increase in uncontrolled outdoor fires called wildfires around the world that have reached apocalyptic or biblical levels in recent times over the last few years or so. What's causing them, are they actually on the increase, is El Nino to blame, what can be done to control them if anything , or whether as with all the recent world events it's just business as usual around the world?

The recent Alberta Canada Wildfires that started May 2016 illustrate the fact that wildfires in my opinion seem to be getting worse and are a natural disaster force to be reckoned with. Australia a continent renowned

The Rise and Rise of Sinkholes?

The Rise and Rise of Sinkholes?

Are Sink Hole occurrences around the globe on the rise. A quick look to see if there is  an epidemic of these head scratchingly bizarre Natural Disaster holes in the ground appearing in an apocalyptic manner? Or is it business as usual on Planet Earth? A companion video will be released a couple of days after this article at The Twelve Gates You Tube Channel.

VID: Recent Strong Earthquakes and Sinkholes. Is a Mega Quake on its way?

Firstly what is the definition of a Sinkhole.

A sinkhole also known as a cenote, sink,sink-hole, shakehole, swallet, swallow hole, or doline is a depression or hole in the ground caused by some form of collapse of the surface layer. Some are caused by karst processes—for example, the chemical dissolution of carbonate rocks or suffosion processes. Sinkholes vary in size from 1 to 600 m (3.3 to 2,000 ft) both in diameter and depth, and vary in form from soil-lined bowls to bedrock-edged chasms. Sinkholes may form gradually or suddenly, and are found worldwide. They are not associated with Earthquakes.

Sinkholes are common where the rock below the land surface is limestone or other carbonate rock, salt beds, or in other rocks, such as gypsum, that can be dissolved naturally by circulating ground water. Sinkholes also occur in sandstone and quartzite terrains. As the rock dissolves, spaces and caverns develop underground. These sinkholes can be dramatic, because the surface land usually stays intact until there is not enough support. Then, a sudden collapse of the land surface can occur.

Are Sinkholes on the increase?

Accuweather recently reported that "Increased reporting of sinkholes (as the public becomes more aware of them), combined with urban sprawl, may lead to the impression that they are occurring more frequently now than in the past," according to Rick Green, geologist for the Florida Geological Survey.

Accuweather went onto say that Randall Orndorff Director of the Eastern Geology and Paleoclimate Science Center for the U.S stated
"We have no hard evidence to say for sure that sinkholes are occurring more than they have in the past; however, since human influences such as paving and building in sinkhole-prone areas has increased, it probably follows that we are seeing them more often," Orndorff said.

Many have blamed the recent massive hole formations to fracking and drilling and tunnel boring (Bertha, the largest tunnel boring machine in the world, caused a 250-cubic-foot sinkhole to open up on Seattle's waterfront), though scientists say a link has not been found yet with fracking and drilling

My Views:
"Dissolving of rock by circulating ground water" is the key statement here and globally the recent El Nino event has accelerated this process resulting in a lot of water in the form of storms and flooding which would have a huge impact on underground rock formations and causing sink holes to increase dramatically. The exact reverse as in drought can have a similar effect, there has been plenty of that also as a result of El Nino. As with everything as more people become aware and more focused on sink holes, then it naturally follows that they will become more prominent. BUT still there does seem to be a lot of these bizarre openings happening on a daily basis?

30. But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.
31. And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:
32. And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
33. They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.
34. And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.

Mass Animal Deaths Worldwide. Is there an explanation?

Mass Animal Deaths Wordlwide. What is the explanation?

Animals on land, sea and air are dying in increasingly large numbers, it seems to be becoming more frequent in 2015. Fingers seem to be pointing at pollution and pesticides in all these areas being the main cause. Climate change, Disease, Pathogens and El Nino are  also being cited as a contributory factor. Toxic waste is yet another. More bizarre causes cited for the deaths include: a result of UFOs, government tests, or even secret weapons. The death levels are so high what would normally take thousands of years to wipe out and make a species extinct, at the current rate would take merely years for this extinction to take place.

Increased Earthquake Activity. Fact or Fiction?

Is Earthquake activity on the rise?

Earthquakes on planet earth have happened since the dawn of time and earthquake activity when charted does show some vague pattern with cycles emerging. You could say earthquake activity is cyclical in nature. Certain parts of the world sees more activity than others on a regular basis as a result of being located on or near tectonic plates which form all around the earths crust.

Recently though, certainly in the last decade there has been a huge increase almost a spike in earthquake activity, you could say going off the chart beyond the normal patterns or cycles that have shown up in the past. Even the complete doubters out there have to admit the charts tell a frightening story.
