погодных ИЗМЕНИ: О возможности нового ледникового периода.
  Ученые из Калифорнийского университета опубликовали результаты исследования из которого следует, что скорость течений, которые выносят лед из Антарктиды в море обычно замедляется, а в некоторых случаях эти течения остановились вообще. Ученые предполагают, что это явление может привести к новому ледникового периода.

  DISASTERS: Chinese droughts, flood were century's deadliest weather disasters
  14,1999
  China experienced three of the century's four deadliest weather-related disasters, two drought-induced famines that killed more than
  3.7
  million lives, U.S. weather experts said Monday, Dec.
  14.
  11,000
  deaths in Central America, last year's Hurricane Mitch does not rank near the top of the century's deadliest incidents. Looking back over the century, experts of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found that famine brought on by drought generally was deadlier than storms or floods like the Yangtze disaster of
  1931.
  Most of the famine deaths were in Asia. A
  million Chinese. Also in China, the "New Famine" of
  million Chinese, and a drought in
  million. The administration estimates of the dead from starvation in Ukraine and the Volga region of Russia, during the early Soviet years
  1921-1922,
  250,000
  million. Wind and a storm surge from a
  cyclone in Bangladesh may have killed as many as half a million. Climate now is changing faster than ever recorded, said D. James Baker, who heads the federal agency.
  (Эль-Ниньйо) - приблизительно раз в 12 лет ее теплые струи оттесняют холодные воды Перуанский течения и достигают побережья Перу. Температура воды возле Эквадора и Перу повышается на несколько градусов, которых достаточно для резкого изменения климата. Морские бризы теперь начинают нести с моря не холодный, а теплый воздух. Оно еще больше нагрившись над суше, поднимается вверх, где охлаждается и создает облака, которые проливают на сухую землю страшный ливень. Они уничтожают посевы и сносят в море верхние слои почвы. С гор взлетают штормовые ветры, а местные рыбаки страдают от массовой гибели рыбы. Течение Эль-Ниньйо наносила ущерба и в прошлом - в частности между 1939 и 1941 годы и в начале 80-х. Но все это кажется "детскими пустощамиь9 по сравнению с трагедией, произошедшей в прошлом году - число людей, погибших в результате погодных катаклизмов во всем мире очень впечатляющая. Кое-кто даже считает, что небывалые дожди и наводнение в ноябре на Закарпатье - тоже эхо Эль -Ниньйо Что же делать с этим опасным явлением? Почему вдруг порушився его 12-летний цикл? Есть ли спасение? ..

  It is already too late to stop the first stages of global warming, the destruction of thousands of the world's species or prevent shortages of water across Africa and Asia that could provoke wars over the next
  years, the UN claimed yesterday. A wasteful consumer society in rich countries, coupled with rapid population growth in poor ones, is threatening to destroy the natural resources on which human life is based, according to a report by the UN Environment Programme. UNEP
  ,
  described as the world's environmental conscience by its director, former German environment minister Klaus Topfer, predicted in its report on the state of the planet at the Millenium that the time to tackle major problems was fast running out and in some aspects it was already too late . Dr Topfer said there had been an increased frequency and severity of natural disasters, such as hurricanes, now killing and injuring many millions of people every year and causing mounting economic losses. He said it was impossible to say that Hurricane Floyd was a result of global warming, but that it was consistant with the increase in extreme weather conditions which was the signature of global warming. He pointed to other phenomena which had appeared since the last UNEP
  report two years ago, such as more and larger forest fires, caused by El Nino, and slash-and-burn techniques which made forests more susceptable to major conflagrations. Dr Topfer called for 'inspired political leadership and intense co-operation' in existing and new environmental treaties. But he conceded that as far as the UN was concearned it was
  weak 'in a lot of areas.

  Swarms of locusts migrating from Kazakhstan have devoured hundreds of acres of crops in central Siberia during a span of only a few days, according to the RIA Novosti news agency. The insects were first observed near the city of Novosibirsk, about
  1,750
  (2,800
  km) east of Moscow. They have since descended on sunflower and grain crops, which are the region's key agricultural output. News footage shown on NTV television showed vast expanses of fields left barren by the ravenous insects. Officials estimate that nearly
  1,250
  acres of farmland have been devoured. The devastation comes during a year when grain supplies have dwindled across Russia. The nation's harvest is expected to be only slightly higher than last years' record low levels.

  Many of Ukraine's poverty-stricken citizens depend on their vegetable plots to provide extra, cheap food during the winter. But the weather this year has not been kind. Nipped by frost early in the spring, and then baked by a long, hot summer, this year's potatoes are coming out of the ground pea-sized. The overall yield is down. According to Ukragroconsult, an independent agriculture sector consultancy, Ukraine's official potato crop in

  13.8

  Мощное землетрясение на Тайване после опустошительных вибраций в Турции и Греции невольно наводит на тревожные мнение о какой таинственный совпадение природных катаклизмов в конце века. Геологи говорят, что между тремя стихийными бедствиями нема прямой связи. Они являются частью ни на миг не затихаючих процессов в земной коре. Землетрясение на Тайване не был ничем чрезвычайным - толчки не превышали 7,6 баллов по Рихтера. Ежегодно в мире происходит 4-5 землетрясений силой более 7,5 баллов, не говоря уже о массе 7-бальных. Однако большинство из них - далеко от крупных населенных пунктов и глубоко под землей. Эпицентр толчков на Тайване находился не на глубине 600 км под поверхностью, как это обычно случается в этом регионе, а всего лишь на глубине 33 км. К тому же на расстоянии 160 км от столицы страны - отсюда и большие масштаба разрушений. "Может показаться, что в этом году больше землетрясений, - говорит Элис Уокер из Британского центра геологических наблюдений - Но в прошлом году таких было два: в Афганистане (погибло 4 тыс. человек) и в Новой Гвинее, который здийняв приточно волну, которая унесла жизни 6 тыс людей ". Особенностью нынешних трагедий является разве что то, что последние колебания земной коры произошли в течение 2-х месяцев, когда в Турции и в Греции был курортный сезон, что и вызвало усиленное внимание к этим катастрофам.

Тепла зима, коли падає не сніг, а дощ, призвела до поповнення ґрунтових вод. І як результат, - почастішали зсуви фунтів і інші геофізичні явища. Погляньмо: опади наче не критичні, а наслідки від них - катастрофічні. В 70-х роках велика кількість опадів дала значно менші руйнівні наслідки, ніж теперішня, яка не дотягує до норми. Пояснення знову ж в характері нового клімату. Тривалість опадів скоротилася, а інтенсивність зросла. Грунтові води тільки накопичуватимуться. Згідно з передбаченнями відділу довготермінових прогнозів квітень, травень, початок червня цього року відзначатимуться "нестійкими погодними умовами" по всій території України. Це означає, що перепади температур між добами становитимуть 10-15 градусів. Від таких перепадів виникатимуть стихійні явища -проливні дощі з шквалами, смерчі, град. Прогнозист М. Барабаш зауважує, що останній розділ Біблії, "Одкровення від Івана" (Апокаліпсис) писав видатний прогнозист. "Ми переживаємо деякі труднощі, які нам здаватимуться кінцем світу, та Земля переживала чимало геологічних епох і ще стільки ж переживе"
