It is the 25th of the 5th, 2012. This is today's climate change update. Let's go and get started on sought.net. Hurricane Bud heading for area near Porto, Vallarta. Hurricane Bud lost some strength as it moves closer to the Mexico-Pacific coast. And it's forecast hit close to there. 5.6 earthquake, which jolted Bulgaria, was strongest since 1858 and after shocks continue. Earthquake magnitude 4.8 shakes nervous Christchurch, spending shoppers fleeing into the streets. Nervous shoppers fled into the streets when a 4.7 earthquake rattle New Zealand City of Christchurch halting rebuilding work following last year's tremor that killed 185 people. These were no immediate reports of damage or injuries in the police and ambulance services said they had received no calls for assistance. Thankfully, they are definitely not out of the woods yet very unstable area. Original radiation released by Fukushima 2.5 times higher than what Teppo told public. The amount of radioactive materials released in the first days of Fukushima nuclear disaster was almost 2.5 times the initial estimate by the Japanese safety regulators. The operator of the cripple plant set on in a report released on Thursday. They are also saying this is the report where Kevin Blanche would come out where RT reported that it's 4.5 times or 4 times Chernobyl and Teppo admitted itself that those numbers are probably a little low. Tornado confirmed on ground near Wasau, Wisconsin. They have some extreme weather up there. Late season storm could bring summer snow to Sierra California. The advance this Memorial Day weekend particularly for folks heading into the Sierra is be prepared. A national weather service and transportation officials say travelers can expect everything from snow showers and accumulations up to 6 inches in the high country today and Saturday to temperatures in the 80s in the Sacramento Valley on Sunday and Monday. So, why do you... Scientific experts confounded by increasing snow cover on Mount Kilimanjaro, constituting the highest mountain area in Africa. Mount Kilimanjaro slowly building up at snow cover. Alaying fears that the prominent scientists who have predicted witnessing the immense loss is famous white hat. So, the climate change scientists were saying that Kilimanjaro was going to lose its snow cap but they've done studies that it's actually getting thicker. Tornado damages 15 homes in North Port, Florida. Here's a good one. Tornado is still seen in Kansas couple's wedding photos. If you haven't seen this photo, it's a young wedding Kansas couple. He's in a cowboy hat and she's in the wedding dress of course and they're taking their wedding pictures together with the tornado in the backdrop. You can't say more Kansas than that. 60,000 to 100,000 dead fish wash up in eastern shores of the United States near Chessik Peak Bay. They're saying due to the extreme weather it's churred up a lot of pollution which is causing the fish deaths, that kind of thing. Definitely alarming amount of fish kill. Over to the watchers, magnitude 6.2 earthquake in Greenland Sea. This is the one that was off the coast of Norway between Greenland and Norway. Magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck area of Norwegian Sea on Thursday. The epicenter was located at 601 kilometers northwest of Tromso. The depth of the epicenter was 8.5 or 8.8 kilometers according to the USGS. They've been having some aftershocks with that as well, no synomial alerts of course. Dense, dust storms blow over Middle East. A dust storm shrouded Iraq late Monday. On the 22nd, the Kuwait News Agency reported the thick dust has suspended operations in two ports. Damage from chemical exposure passed down for generations. New research has shown that exposure to commonly used chemicals can cause changes in rats that are passed down through multiple generations, including high anxiety and stress and all of that. Intense heat waves across Indian subcontinent makes new record highs. They are still dealing with their big heat wave. Rains swell dried out, poignant lake in China. In January, 2012, we were writing about the dried out beds of these lakes in the South Eastern China where drought had shrunk the lake to a fraction of its former area. After a year, poor rainfall, a lake covered less than 188 square kilometers, China's two freshwater lakes. They are both drying up to about 40 million people, affected by the water. All these heavy rains have been going. Thankfully, these lakes are starting to fill back up. Typhoon, San Vu is the first typhoon of this year. It is the first storm since early October 2011. It's only the second name Western North Pacific Storm thus far in 2012. Unfortunately, no major land masses are under threat. Category Hurricane 1, Bud continues to strengthen. I heard it lost a little strength right before it's supposed to hit Mexico. And where is the other one? Oh, the nuclear fire on the USS Miami burning a port-smith-nabel shipyard covered a little bit of that on the E&E news. Speaking of, let's go ahead and go over to that. Mayor, we are definitely suffering from radiation exposure in our bodies. And one health care, just 2% of Fukushima residents have had radiation testing by the government. And I've heard stories in the scene reports where people were flat out refused treatment when they wanted to get tested for radiation. In Tokyo and around Japan. TEPCO Unit Number 4 wall bulging, local deformation confirmed. So basically, just one wall, the support beams have bulged out in a bow kind of thing. The rest of the building they're saying is fairly secure with the reactor and the fuel storage pool above the reactor kind of thing. Not on the actual wall, that's sagging. So time will tell with this, they got some diagrams explaining the whole thing. TEPCO checks for cracks on spent fuel pool number 4. Now says reactor building not tilting as whole. And of course, they're not reminding you that the water is leaking from the storage pool through to the basement where they are pumping the water. From the basement back into the fuel storage pool at a rate where it is losing it. So they're keeping it in equilibrium that way. The fuel pool is already ruptured. There are broken fuel rods lying on the bottom of the fuel pool. No containment whatsoever. So it's still a very precarious situation in spent fuel pool number 4 Fukushima Diyachi. Definitely, you know, here we go, the insanity continues. UN radiation expert, neutron exposure from Fukushima Kriva Calicte is not measured. Well, why is that? Major problems with radiation testing for children. US congressmen, days before officials can enter a fire damaged area of nuclear submarine. The fire went on for a few days. They were saying it was kept to the front of the ship to the forward part of the ship and the reactors are in the back into the ship. There was nuclear fuel in the reactors, but the reactors were on. Obviously, it was in dry dock and repairs or modifications or what have they do. Close call, I would imagine if the storylines for what they're really telling us. People were reporting smelling strange smells, but who knows what they were doing to that submarine when it caught fire. Unexplained tipcoe could not measure a amount of radiation released when number 4 exploded. They don't know why. Impossibly high, WHO's intentional report estimated Tokyo and Osaka infant thyroid dose at 10 to 100 miliseeverts, up to 1 full severt in Nami. Tipco admits high temps may have degraded containment vessels after meltdowns, massive amounts of fallout released from upper parts of reactors. Question mark, we know they've melted through. And they're already seeping into the Pacific Ocean. They're talking about building 100 foot wall to try to keep that back a little bit. And the stories go on and on, of course. To my American friends, enjoy your holiday, may it be safe and happy, and just remember to laugh. Enjoy what you can. Have a great weekend.
