Russian emergencies minister expects more natural disasters due to climate change
The Russian emergencies minister, Alexander Kurenkov, added, that weather anomalies are becoming more and more frequent
MOSCOW, December 26. /TASS/. Potentially hazardous weather conditions will intensify in the future as a result of climate change, making natural disasters a more frequent occasion, the Russian emergencies minister, Alexander Kurenkov, has told TASS in an interview.
"Our forecasts are based on data, provided by the Russian Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring. Its specialists note that the number of potentially dangerous weather conditions is growing from year to year, and attribute this trend to climate change. This, in turn, will make natural disasters a more frequent occasion," he said.
The minister added that weather anomalies, such as spells of unusually cold or hot weather, torrential rains, gale winds, hailstorms, floods and draughts are becoming more and more frequent.
THE CHRISTMAS STORM DIDN'T HAPPEN: A CME expected to hit Earth on Dec. 25th did not. Either the CME missed or it is moving more slowly than expected. A tardy arrival on Dec. 26th could still spark a minor G1-class geomagnetic storm, albeit too late for auroras on Christmas. CME impact alerts: SMS Text
HIGH SOLAR ACTIVITY: The sun is crackling with solar flares. Witness these four M-class events within a 2 1/2 hour period on Dec. 26th:
Sunspots 3933, 3936 and 3938 are all participating--but not independently. These are "sympathetic solar flares," one triggering another, then another, in a chain reaction. Sometimes this happens when widely-spaced sunspots are connected by invisible loops of magnetism threading through the sun's high atmosphere.
The four flares pictured above combined to produced X-ray peaks of M3 and M7. If the sunspots continue to work together, a powerful X-flare may be just a matter of time. Solar flare alerts: SMS Text

Powerful waves hammer Pacific Coast again as search continues in California for man swept out to sea
Rough surf earlier this week killed a man and collapsed a section of the Santa Cruz Pier.

MARINA, Calif. – Rescuers continue to search for a man who was swept out to sea when rough surf hammered the Northern California coast earlier this week even as more powerful waves are hitting the same area again.
The turbulent Pacific Ocean, which is being churned up by a series of atmospheric rivers that have brought rounds of precipitation and high winds to the West Coast, took out a chunk of the Santa Cruz Pier on Monday.
WATCH: 40-FOOT WAVES SLAM OAHU BEACH AS HAWAII'S 'THE EDDIE' SURF COMPETITION UNDERWAY
A man died at Sunset State Beach after he became trapped under debris, according to FOX 2 San Francisco. Bystanders freed the man, but he later died at a hospital.
Police in Marina said that another man went missing Monday after he was swept out to sea by the high surf at Marina State Beach. Authorities have been limited to a land-based search for the man because the water has been too rough.
More rough surf to pound Northern California coast
Christmas Day provided some improvement along the Northern California coast, but forecasters said the respite was short-lived.
High Surf Warnings and Advisories have again been issued along the Pacific Coast of the U.S., with some alerts in Northern California in effect until at least Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service, large breaking waves of up to 30 feet are likely. In some places, wave heights could reach as high as 50 feet.
