Blizzard in Italy
Guinevere – even the word itself sounds somehow Wagnerian, immediately associations arise with Brunnhilde, the Valkyries and the harsh gods Vikings! Meanwhile, the so-called invasion in northern Italy cold arctic air, and this word is translated completely harmlessly – “White Spirit”.
And now – this same White spirit fell upon Italy on the eve of friday! This invasion brought a sharp drop in temperature, in an average of 10-15 degrees, but this has not been observed for last 20 years. The cooling was accompanied by a whole complex adverse weather conditions: in the val d’Aveto valleys, Valtellina and Valle Scrivia fell snow, in many places the strongest the wind tumbled down the trees.

Residents of the northern provinces of Lombardy at the end of May again forced were turn on the heating. Only +6 showed the thermometer bars in Milan, about 7 degrees – in Bergamo, Sondrio and Lodi. And in the mountain Foppolo village, located at an altitude of 1000 meters (province Bergamo), poured more than 20 cm of snow, and air temperature dropped to -10.
The snowstorm brought trouble not only to local residents. Organizers of the prestigious multi-day bike race in Italy Giro d’Italia decided to cancel the 19th stage, which should was held at an altitude of about 2000 meters above sea level due adverse weather conditions. It is still unknown whether the 20th 203 km stage with a finish on the famous mountain Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
The end of the week was marked by natural turmoil and in more southern regions of the country. So, in Venice, “high water” again flooded the lowest places in the city, including St. Mark’s Square. Must to say that the phenomenon of viola aqua is absolutely unusual for this season, directly related to the weather cataclysm in the mountains Lombardy. The anomalous phenomena that opened the May season, walked literally around the world. Thunderstorms, hurricanes, squally winds, tornado, tornadoes – nature has offered us a variety of tests. Where did it come from? Should I wait for more revelry of the elements? 30 degree the heat in early May initially did not bode well. Like promised meteorologists, stuffiness and heavy air became a prelude for hurricanes, squally winds, thunderstorms and even insect invasions. But these tests also continued. Tula region collapsed tornado, and in the Sea of Okhotsk there was an 8-point earthquake, from which shook all of Russia. Shocks felt in Ryazan, Novosibirsk, Ivanovo and Moscow. And that is not all. IN Khakassia expected to drop in temperature to minus 5 degrees. Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic warns that due to frost die crops.

A similar anomaly – snow in spring – has now been observed in France, Spain and Italy. The reason for this was a fierce struggle between Asian anticyclone and cyclonic swirl from North Atlantic, said a leading specialist at the Phobos Weather Center Eugene Tishkovets: “Behind the rear of this cyclone to Europe is constantly from The Arctic is receiving new and new portions of cold. Therefore in western Europe, on the Iberian Peninsula during the day was no higher than 10 degrees. For them, this is a terrible anomaly. We can say that they are dropped on one and a half, two months ago. “However, experts do not exclude that nature can still bring surprises. Moreover, unprecedented earlier phenomena, says a leading specialist at the weather center “Phobos” Vadim Zavodchenchenkov. Just in case, he gives advice on how to leave. from a tornado: “You have to hide in some cellar, some shelter as early as possible. A tornado is a phenomenon that can be seen from afar. We must try to get out of his way. It moves at a speed of 60-80 kilometers per hour. If the highway is open, then you can escape from it. The easiest way to go is not from him, but to the right or left. “However, the most the best cure for fear of the elements – awareness of its approach and readiness for her special services. Attitude planet to man is rapidly deteriorating
Apocalypse today: an earthquake from Vladivostok to Moscow, tornadoes in Oklahoma and near Tula, the invasion of termites in Alabama. For only flocks of birds lack the fullness of the picture of the coming end of the world, attacked the city of sinners.
Someone explains everything with a powerful flash on the Sun (two bursts plasma that reached Earth yesterday). Someone refers to The Pentagon, which predicted that the planet’s attitude to man rapidly deteriorating in the coming years.
In 2012 alone, there were 106 million victims in more than 300 natural disasters. The catastrophes of 13 years of the 21st century are already punished people for 2.5 trillion dollars. What the planet was offended by and how can this quarrel end for a man?
Nature has bad weather. Monstrous! Tornado in Oklahoma killed 24 people. The whole city is wiped off the face of the earth. Damage 2 billion dollars.
Oklahoma made the capital of the tornado nature: climate, landscape. A man brought to perfection. When mastered the Wild West, cut down the forest. Now here at home – in chips!
“The planet is slowly starting to bill us all. In nobody will be left to the side. Someone will pay more for this, someone – smaller. Someone will lose a life, someone will lose a house, “- draws joyless prospect energy program manager Greenpeace Russia Vladimir Chuprov.
This is not a prophecy – this is a forecast. And he comes true. Snowstorms at the end May: Europe covered with snow. France, Belgium, Italy – such here for the first time in 125 years.
And we have heat and thunderstorms. In the capital, curse the global warming. In the North, it puts entire nations on the brink of survival. The water level drops, as a result, the fish die. And the deer are driven on summer pastures almost a month ahead of schedule, until the ice on the river melted away. The Nenets family Vanuito complains: the young are dying.
The North is no longer endless. It turned out that the planet is also squeezing a man in a hug too warm. Due to greenhouse gas emissions the average temperature on Earth rose by 0.8 degrees. The ice is melting ocean level rises, puts pressure on the earth’s crust, it responds earthquakes.
Executive Director of the Center for Effective Use Energy Igor Bashmakov made the following comparison. If the temperature of our body (36.6) increase by 0.8 degrees, then, in his opinion, the result is a “very unpleasant state – 37.4 when we are healthy we cannot name ourselves. ”
So the planet is in a fever. According to experts, half a century ago from 1% of the Earth’s territory suffered from natural disasters, now – 10%.
“The earth with our own hands is freed from us, begins scratch oneself. We, as humanity, are very annoying to her. Let’s, get out of here! “- the adviser to the president of Russia is sure Academy of Sciences Aleksey Yablokov.
Therefore, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep communications in permafrost, not let the waves sweep the oil rigs into the sea and resorts on coast.
In the Tula region, no one died by sheer luck. Behind in a few minutes the tornado turned the cozy town of Efremov into a zone natural disaster. And then he went on.
One can argue for a long time whether nature takes revenge on man or not. But the fact remains a fact: only this week, after a tornado in Oklahoma, the inhabitants of Russia encountered a tornado in the Tula region, in Obninsk. With an earthquake that swept across the country, from the Far East to Moscow. And it seems to calm down on this nature does not plan.
“When nature, what is called” shows its fangs, “we we can’t fight. Another thing is that we are obliged to minimize those negative consequences associated with dangerous natural phenomena, “- said the head of the center” Antistichia “EMERCOM of Russia Vladislav Bolov.
Leading American climatologists also recognized: the maximum that can be done, have time to warn people about disasters. “In 2000 year we could predict the onset of tornadoes and other similar storms only in 2 two days, now we can in 8 days, “- said US National Weather Watch Leading Meteorologist Paul Schlatter.
Nature is already forcing people to consider their opinions. Giant companies build factories in different parts of the world: all at once definitely won’t wash it off. Documents are stored in computer networks: all of a sudden tornado will cover the office.
According to a senior researcher at the Institute of Biophysics, RAS Aleksey Karnaukhov, “there will be no process of irreversible climate change fast, but it will affect such a scale that they are very it will be hard to reverse. “” It’s even worse to watch how the nature around you is irreversibly changing and becoming one in which you will no longer have a place, “he adds.
We cannot wait for mercy from nature. Scientists scare: after 200 years from natural disasters, half the world’s population may die. But so far, mankind has not stepped behind the “point of no return.” And the planet is not avenging. Rather, it shows who the Lord of the Storm is here.
