Winter in the Northern Hemisphere has just begun, yet seasonal weather phenomena are already breaking all records in strength and scale. Here's a weekly overview of the disasters that occurred around the planet from November 20 to November 26.
Each climate event in this report serves as a verdict against the old meteorological norms.
In France, Storm "Caetano" caused record-breaking snowfalls and cold temperatures. In Paris, snowfalls unseen for over half a century closed the Eiffel Tower to visitors, while other regions experienced strong winds and freezing temperatures.
Germany and Switzerland recorded snowfalls that shattered century-old records, followed by a sharp warming to +22°C in November.
Storm "Bert" destroyed protective dams, flooded towns, and caused numerous power outages. Strong winds damaged infrastructure, leaving thousands homeless. The storm led to widespread disruptions in air and rail transport.
In southeastern Turkey, snowstorms and blizzards paralyzed transportation, causing a complete collapse. In the United States and Canada, a "bomb cyclone" brought record-breaking winds and precipitation, resulting in mass power outages and significant destruction.
On the Reykjanes Peninsula, a new volcanic eruption occurred. Experts were alarmed by the suddenness of the event, as it was not preceded by increased seismic activity, which is typical in such cases.
Natural phenomena that once followed predictable seasonal rhythms are losing their stability. The atmosphere is becoming chaotic and unpredictable.
This raises an important question: What is behind these alarming processes, and why is nature exhibiting such extremes?
Research conducted over many years by independent scientists has shed light on an unexpected cause of climate chaos. Its source lies in the ocean and a mysterious Factor X that has remained outside the scope of modern climate models.
At the COP16 conference, a documentary film about this research, "The Climate Crisis and Ocean Pollution: Global Challenges and Solutions," premiered, along with an innovative approach aimed at restoring the stability of the climate system.
