The Ice Age Cometh! Forget Global Warming!

Alps with a Martian hue. Dust from the Sahara turned the skies over Europe yellow

Air masses from the south brought particles from the African Sahara Desert to Europe.
“The dust cloud reached Europe with a southwest anticyclone from North Africa across the Mediterranean. The concentration of dust from the Sahara over Switzerland is particularly high on Saturday and affects our weather, ”writes the Swiss publication SRF on February 6.

Matterhorn is completely out of sight due to dust.

According to local residents, the view outside the window is as if looking through a sepia filter.
If the concentration of dust in the air is high, visibility is impaired. The dust of the Sahara leaves its mark not only in the sky, but also on earth. Microparticles are deposited on surfaces.

And this is how the sky over France looks like:



Thanks, I noticed that the light had a strange glow today (very cloudy here), orangy indeed, and I wondered what it was. 👍
 
Hilarious!

And yes, we noticed the yellow sky today. Weird.

Saw it too. AND half of germany is experiencing harsh winter weather (with a lot of snow in a short time and very cold temperatures) that is being described as „never happened before“ in the radio, at exactly the same time, starting now:

We observed it here in the Pyrenées too, saturday morning, a thin layer of red-brown dust had covered everything. Although the light had not an orange or yellow glow, maybe because it happened during the night

India: Scores feared dead after Himalayan glacier breaks​

As many as 150 people are feared dead in India's northern Uttarakhand state after a Himalayan glacier partially broke up, causing heavy flooding.

Indian authorities put districts in the north of the country on high alert on Sunday after part of a Himalayan glacier broke and caused widespread heavy flooding.

Twitter users shared videos of the huge water deluge through a valley.

One video showed what the user described as "scary visuals coming in from Chamoli district in Uttarakhand."

Another video showed torrents of water smashing against the rocks on the banks of the river Dhauli Ganga.

Officials told Reuters that people were being evacuated from areas near a river fed by the glacier where they had already seen rising water levels.

100-150 feared dead​


The chief secretary for the Uttarakhand state, Om Prakesh, told Reuters that 100 to 150 people were feared dead, but "the actual number has not been confirmed yet."

Local residents told the news agency that they feared workers from the nearby hydropower project had been swept away by the flood as well as other villagers who had been near the river at the time.

"We have no idea how many people are missing, " villager Sanjay Singh Rana said.

The videos shared on social media showed how the dam was unable to hold back the sheer weight of water.

DW's Nimisha Jaiswal in New Delhi said a huge operation is underway in the region to try to save lives.

"We're hearing of multiple teams of rescue management forces being deployed; the army, the national disaster reserve force, as well as border police," she said.

"Thousands [of residents] have already been evacuated but experts say it'll only be clear how extensive the damage is once the floodwaters recede."

Avalanche to blame?​


The Indian Express said that part of the Nanda Devi glacier broke off on Sunday morning, two days after an avalanche on the same glacier.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted that he was "constantly monitoring the unfortunate situation in Uttarakhand."

"India stands with Uttarakhand and the nation prays for everyone’s safety there. Have been continuously speaking to senior authorities and getting updates on NDRF deployment, rescue work and relief operations," he added.

The Uttarakhand province in the mountainous Himalayas region is prone to heavy flooding. In June 2013, record-breaking rainfall led to devastating floods that left almost 6,000 people dead.

Just another reminder that Dr. David Viner (a senior research 'scientist') was wrong saying in 2000 that winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event", as it's currently snowing quite heavily in the Netherlands.


MSM is very quiet about 'man-made global warming' right now. As soon as the temperature rises, they'll probably start talking about it again, which won't be soon, as coming Tuesday could reach temperatures as low as -15 degrees Celsius!
 
I was wondering where the Ice age thread was with what’s going over in Northern Hemisphere. I am guessing this is the beginning of the Ice Age and something that C’s have mentioned a few times. I found an old post from Laura which is worth re-reading, link below.

The most striking bit -

A: Maybe, but remember this: a change in the speed of the rotation may not be reported while it is imperceptible except by instrumentation. Equator is slightly "wider" than the polar zones. But, this discrepancy is decreasing slowly currently. One change to occur in 21st Century is sudden glacial rebound, over Eurasia first, then North America. Ice ages develop much, much, much faster than thought.
