Freezing snowstorms could be climate chaos.

Is "global warming" real? Who dares to say that it is not? The mainstream media shoves that message down our throat whether we like it or not. University researchers are enticed to find those results and punished when they find anything else. And no one seems to be counting the artificial manipulation of the weather with chemtrails, H.A.A.R.P., and other secret means. Humans are warming it, but it is a concerted effort to warm it and say in an alarmist way that that warming is galloping out of control now. We ignore our eyes. We ourselves do not review the data. When the meteorologist who founded the Weather Channel (weather.com) looked at the data, he did NOT find much of a rise. And he asked his colleagues about. There has been about a 1 degree rise in our lifetimes. Where are all the other headlines coming from and why? They will make us believe and demand that they intervene. We will not only give up our rights, we will demand they be taken away. There may be a mini ice age on the way, but we'll never hear about that above the din of alarmism and artificial youth movements kickstarted to promote an agenda. Natural global warming being brought on by consumer activity? Unlikely. Being brought on by corporate officials and their masters? Obviously.

Southern California 20K years ago: Ice Age

The Ice Age secrets hiding beneath California

Native Californians and their kizh houses

(Voyager) June 7, 2025: CALIFORNIA. What’s hiding beneath California? This Ice Age deep-dive reveals fossils, lost megafauna (large animals), ancient humans (Natives), and the land before cities.

The paleobiota of the LA Tar Pits

Today, we journey back to a California few ever imagine, an ancient landscape buried beneath our cities, beaches, and freeways. Long before San Diego’s skyline rose or La Jolla’s cliffs drew surfers, this land was ruled by Columbian mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and early humans (pre-Clovis) who braved a world still shaped by ice. From submerged Kumeyaay village sites to fossil-filled tar pits and coastal cliffs hiding prehistoric secrets, this is the untold story of Ice Age California.

Finland is a county. It's no Buddhist Bhutan, the last Himalayan kingdom in the world, with its "Gross Domestic Happiness" rating being of central concern. Yet it manages to be happy. It's close to Sweden, not far from Norway. It is Scandinavian. And cold. There is no reason to be happy there, unless one is just traveling. Try Monty Python Travel Agents to arrange a tour.

Baby eaglet MISSING in Big Bear

UPDATE: My babies pipped and hatched. Now, back off!

Eagle cam views on overdrive

Big Bear bald eagles Jackie and Shadow welcome first eaglet since 2019 (vvdailypress.com)

 

Humans reenact the squawking of BB eagles

One of the hatchlings (chicks, babies, fledglings, carnivorous raptors) is missing in the snow. The storms pounding Los Angeles with hail, graupel, and freezing rain is dumping snow high atop Big Bear Lake. And at least 50 feet above that sits Eagle Jackie and her mate Shadow, the couple pampering their newborns with slaughtered trout, crow, duck, and warm vomit. Ah, Nature. 

One baby, two babies, where's the third eaglet?!

But tragedy has struck. Not only was the runt late and being constantly bonked by Brutus, the big one, to establish the nest's pecking order, now one of the three is feared gone, either cannibalized or thrown from the nest for hygiene among the corpses and mortal remains of the prey littering the well-arranged sticks.

Seven thousand feathers keep Jackie warm, sitting on her brood or clutch or nursery. Maybe a park ranger should climb the tree and shove the mother off her young so we can count them and feel better about our nosy curiosity about the mysterious ways of Nature and its blood smeared beaks and talons. Is it any wonder the dragons (nagas, reptilians) fear the garudas (suparnas, avians)

• Big Bear's beloved bald eagles: Two of Jackie and Shadow's eagle eggs appear to be hatching (ABC7 Los Angeles)

There's been progress. A pip has been detected, a quickening that inspires the other chicks in their embryonic shells to get with the pecking and break out. Although it is 18 degrees up at Big Bear Lake above LA, the eggs are warm by the vigilance of the parents, Jackie and Shadow, and everything looks good for the birth of three baby bald eagles. It makes one proud to be a Native American and watch respect for nature rub off on the cam jamming Lone Ranger man filming the birds in their element.

The avian garuda (suparna) ET bird-people

We are starting Pip Watch on March 1st, when Egg1 is 38 days old, looking for the first signs of hatching (the first little hole being called a pip).

We may notice subtle changes in Jackie and Shadow’s behavior, such as becoming more attentive to the eggs.

Since Jackie is practicing delayed incubation, we may not see anything yet but will keep our eyes glued to all three eggs, [except for the runt. Who cares about him? Have you seen the price of a dozen of these? Make my murder morning mash of fowl fetuses too expensive to fry!]

The initial pip usually looks like a small bump, often shaped like a star, and is only visible when the camera is zoomed in. The eggs may have some dirt smudges or fluff stuck on them, which are not to be mistaken for pips.

• [Hey, is Zelenskyy going to start WW III after disrespecting VP Vance and not kissing PP Trump's ring? Sure glad we have this Eagle Cam set up so we don't have to think about how we have been funding Ukraine's killing of Russians and getting them killed for Europe. What are the CIA and Pentagon thinking?]
• What are garudas, alien bird-human hybrid people?
• Supaṇṇa Saṃyutta are Buddhist texts about garudas
• The Connected Discourses on Phoenixes [3] or Avians, Garudas, Suparnas, Harpies, Birdpeople provides basic accounts on the nature of the garuḍas, who are avian deities in Buddhist cosmology and mythology. In these texts, the Buddha describes these beings with regard to their mode of rebirth, hierarchy, as well as the reasons a person may be reborn among them.

If one notices any suspicious spot, please make a note and keep an eye on it. If it were a pip, in a few hours, it would grow into a larger, more obvious pip site.

• BEWARE OF PWI: "Pip watch itch" manifests as an urgent need to study all egg rolls frame-by-frame and pronounce every dirt speck or fluff a pip. It is highly transmissible, occurs seasonally, and has no known cure. Not to be confused with "presidential war incitement" Q.E.D. 
• OVARIAN FACTS: 🥚 Egg1 laid 1/22 17:05, Egg2 laid 1/25 16:44, Egg3 laid 1/28 17:43

Pip Watch begins on 3/1. Historically, at this snowy mountaintop location high above Los Angeles and the OC in Southern California, eggs hatch at ~38-39 days. With three eggs it could take a few days longer.

🐣 HATCHING is a long process that may take a few days: bit.ly/3UVVy8D. [So don't even think of driving up and trying to help the chick be born. Breaking out is part of Nature's process of strengthening its survival chances. The mother isn't picking off the shell, so why would a meddling human hand help?]

DAD: ℹResident Bald Eagle male: Shadow (unbanded) since May 2018. Estimated hatch year: 2014.

MOM: ℹResident Bald Eagle female: Jackie (unbanded) since September 2016. Estimated hatch year: 2012. [So even on the animal plane, guys go for younger chicks?]

Powerful storm moves across burn areas, causes power outages

Storm timeline: When will the heavy rain, mountain snow hit SoCal?

(ABC7) March 11, 2025: Another storm in Southern California will soak the region, bringing mountain snow and heavy rain to the region, with strong winds and flooding, particularly in the burn scars of the Eaton and Sunset Fires in Altadena and Hollywood but not sparing sunny Orange County and the Airport Fire burn scar. The Palisades Fire may wash more debris into the sea, further polluting Santa Monica Bay. Snow at the beginning of spring and freezing temps as the city prepares for St. Patrick's Day? What climate change and chaos is afoot? Legend has it that when there is fire, there are earthquakes so Angelenos can "shake and bake," with mudslides following every hillside fire, wearing away at the city, capital of the world, as it falls into the Pacific. Mt. Baldy is covered in snow with foothills dusted, easily melting in the sunshine of clear days. Meteorologist Dallas Raines explains, and KTLA 5 provides in-depth coverage. Torrential rains, atmospheric river, El Nino and La Nina threatening, waterspouts, a tornado in Pico Rivera, thunder, graupel, hail, the weather devas are having a field day. Full story: abc7.com/post/los-angeles-wea...

Linda Lindas 'Too Many Things' (Rolling Stone)

Beloved girl band Las Pretty Prettys gets lots of love from LA's formerly-alternative radio station KROQ.com. They were invited to perform at the station's annual Acoustic Xmas jamboree and this past weekend at Bear Mountain ski resort for a special Snow Summit event. They've grown up a little and gotten tough. Now the singer screams and roars, and the guitarist jumps around, which is progress. This ain't no kiddy party but a Bikini Kill, L7, riot grrrl music to mosh to mess, or at least it seems to be going in that direction.

Rainstorm makes California lake again

What was California when Lake Corcoran ruled the state? (Miscanti Lagoon, Chile)

(ABC 7 News, LA) Dallas Raines explains Storm timeline: When will the heavy rain hit SoCal?

What would such a big lake have looked like?

California has no weather to speak of. A cloud over Los Angeles is news because temps may dip under the 70s. Northern California is colder, but the state is famous for its sunny beaches and SoCal scenery. Today is different. Strange H20 has been condensing in the sky and falling onto the ground. No one knows how to drive in it, so expect crashes, spinouts, and traffic. This climate chaos is being exacerbated by HAARP, DEW (directed-energy weapons), and chemtrail technology, fanning winds for hotter fires followed by excessive rain that causes landslides, mud floods, and changing real estate costs, somehow always moving them up and never down. The LA Fire(s) have left the area all around Hollywood in grave danger of floating away into the streets of the Valley and the sea (Santa Monica Bay) with toxic plastics for our finny friends in the Pacific Ocean. Sorry, sealions and sweet dolphins. Take that, sharks and stingrays. All apologies to the basis of life on earth, plankton and sea vegetables. All weather forecasts are humble-brags because they usually ignore the hardships in the Midwest, East Coast, and South, where real weather happens -- heavy snow, killer freezes, sleet, tornadoes, hurricanes, power outages.,,

How California's largest lake disappeared

(Uncovering) Sep 22, 2023 North America used to have a massive body of water west of the Mississippi called Lake Corcoran where present-day California rests. This massive lake mostly disappeared, but part of it (Tulare Lake) actually remains today, and it grows with every storm and snowmelt. The nation's breadbasket is Central California, a possibly toxic lakebed sprayed with Monsanto Corporation chemicals and petroleum-tainted water for the state's booming economy.

Scientists baffled after finding fossilized frozen forest under ice patches on Beartooth Plateau

Scientists were recently left stunned when they unveiled the remains of a 6,000-year-old forest on the Beartooth Plateau.

The forest was buried in ice and came to the surface because of warming, Earth.com stated. Researchers believe that the forest retreated under ice 5,500 years ago due to a change in solar radiation and volcanic cooling which followed the phenomenon. Findings regarding the long-buried forest have been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

On examination, the fossils were identified to be the remnants of a mature white bark pine forest. As per experts, the forest was once situated at an elevation of 10,000 feet.

Researchers cited the forest as an example of how ecosystems transform due to alterations in the atmosphere. “This is pretty dramatic evidence of ecosystem change due to temperature warming.

It’s an amazing story of how dynamic these systems are,” said David McWethy, one of the study’s authors and an associate professor at Michigan State University's (MSU’s) Department of Earth Sciences. More

'Crazy to see': Parts of Gulf Coast get first-ever blizzard warning

.

LAFAYETTE, Louisiana (Gulf of Mexico) − Portions of the U.S. Gulf Coast saw a first-ever blizzard warning, a wide swath of the Deep South was targeted by a major winter storm, and brutal cold temperatures gripped much of the nation today (Jan. 21, 2025) as the U.S. grappled with wild winter weather.

Stacey Denson, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Lake Charles, told USA TODAY the blizzard warning was a first for Louisiana. A blizzard warning means frequent wind gusts to 35 MPH and snow reducing visibilities to 1/4 mile or less is expected.

"It was pretty crazy to see," Denson said. "It is actually improving a bit, but we had whiteout conditions." More
