There’s TWENTY INCHES Of Snow On Mallorca, And The Waves Are 25 Feet High

Mallorca has been gripped by a winter storm that’s wreaking mayhem, with 20 inches of snow closing roads and cutting power to dozens of towns.

The Spanish holiday island is covered with snow and officials issued a rare red alert warning for the second day in a row as a further 15 inches is predicted to fall.

Storm Juliette struck Mallorca, known for its sun-drenched beaches, and has since brought blizzards and chilly weather to the Balearic island.

Spain’s meteorological agency AEMET warned the coastal regions in northern Mallorca would be hit with 55mph winds and 25-foot waves.

AEMET issued a red warning for snow and warned 15 inches would fall in the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range in the north of the island within 24 hours.

The meteorological experts had predicted 16 inches of snow would fall by early this morning, but more than 20 inches covered the town of Valldemossa where temperatures have plummeted to -2C (28.4 Fahrenheit).

The snowstorm has also led to power cuts in dozens of towns including Valldemossa, Alaró, Vilafranca and Port d’Alcúdia.

The 20 inches of snow has also forced the closure of up to 15 roads in the Serra de Tramuntana region.

The AEMET has also issued an amber alert for rainfall, with 100mm predicted in the Serra de Tramuntana range.

In the past eight hours the highest accumulated rainfall, 128.4 mm, has been recorded in Pollença, a town in northern Mallorca.

In the remainder of the island, orange and yellow warnings have been activated for winds of more than 70 km/hr and rainfall that could exceed three inches in some places.

Snow has also covered parts of Ibiza and it has an active yellow warning for 13 feet waves today, and in neighbouring Menorca, there were active orange warnings for 90 km/hr winds which have left the island cut off by the sea following the closure of port Maó.

Storm Juliette also hit Spain on Monday, leaving some regions completely white as heavy snowfalls hit across the country.

AEMET said the storm was predicted to cause low temperatures and intense cold winds across the country and the Balearic Islands until Thursday.

Elsewhere in Europe, hundreds of people in Croatia were stuck in their cars on Monday after a snowstorm stopped traffic and cut off parts of the country.

Unfortunately, shifts in the Earth’s trajectory around the sun and shifts in the tilt and wobble of the Earth’s axis can lead to cooling or warming of the Earth’s climate because they alter the amount of energy our planet obtains from the sun.

These changes, known as Milankovitch cycles, cause climate changes on time scales of thousands of years. They’re responsible for the rapid warming the Earth has experienced over the last 100 years.

Almost all of Earth’s atmospheric energy is ultimately emanated from the sun, so it makes sense that the planet’s position and orientation relative to the sun would have an impact on our climate.

These orbital and astronomical shifts repeat on time scales ranging from 26,000 to 100,000 years, and one can calculate their impact on the amount of energy our planet receives from the sun.

The effect of this changing solar input over time has been significant, and it’s forced the Earth’s climate in and out of cold and warm phases.

The ‘global’ part was right but they got the ‘warming’ wrong, they should have said ‘lying’. It’s always been a tactic to attempt to scaremonger for numerous years and yet there are still numerous people who fall for the same old drivel.

And how does paying £15 daily congestion charge save the planet? Just another money-making scheme, and if there is a shift in how our climate, this is just Mother Nature showing the world who’s in charge because it’s certainly not our Government, or that someone is playing about with the weather.

Whatever happens, it’s rather evident that humanity will not be on this planet forever, and we will all be in the history books if any form of existence comes after us.

We’ve been told that we’re destroying ourselves because we are destroying our ozone layer which protects us and other living things from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation, but the depletion could have profound consequences on human health and the environment.

Ozone depletion and climate change are connected in a number of ways, but ozone depletion isn’t the main cause of climate change.

Climate change is concerned with how carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases are seemingly changing the global system. Ozone depletion, on the other hand, involves how certain industrially produced chemicals containing chlorine or bromine are harming the earth’s protective stratospheric ozone layer.

Of course, we’re an evolving race, and evidently, even monkeys may be evolving into a human-like race as they’re spotted leaving trees. So, perhaps a new wave of primates could be taking an evolutionary leap due to climate change and deforestation.

And millions of years ago, the species of humankind once consumed their lives swinging about the trees and then started to walk on the ground instead, and it appears as though the same process of evolution has the possibility of occurring again.

Governments use the cautionary effect to tell us a tale so that they can forewarn us of danger.

There are three fundamental elements to a cautionary tale, that can be introduced in a number of ways.

First, a taboo or prohibition is noted, some act, location, or thing is said to be a danger, although citation is required for this. Then, the narrative itself is told by someone who disregarded the warning and who committed the prohibited act.

Finally, the violator comes to an undesirable fate, which is often related in expansive and gruesome detail.

Cautionary tales are also frequently utilised to spread awareness of moral issues. For this reason, they’re frequently told to children to make them conform to those rules that either protect them or are for their own safety – it’s a form of brainwashing folks!

Now, all children believe that the world will end if they don’t do what they’re told to do.

Of course, the world is going to end – at some point!

The cautionary tale has been about for an extremely long time. Once it was called folklore, but it’s endured to the present day in another form, especially with the rise of modern mass media such as film and television, with so many public service announcements and public information films which frame themselves as cautionary tales regarding both societal issues and common dangers in modern life, forcing conformity by warning viewers of the hazards and directing them towards sidestepping the causes, or simply not doing actions that result in such dangers.

My vision on life is pretty broad, therefore I like to address specific subjects that intrigue me. Therefore I really appreciate the world of politics, though I have no actual views on who I will vote for, that I will not tell you, so please do not ask! I am like an observation station when it comes to writing, and I simply take the news and make it my own. I have no expectations, I simply love to write, and I know this seems really odd, but I don't get paid for it, I really like what I do and since I am never under any pressure, I constantly find that I write much better, rather than being blanketed under masses of paperwork and articles that I am on a deadline to complete. The chances are, that whilst all other journalists are out there, ripping their hair out, attempting to get their articles completed, I'm simply rambling along at my convenience creating my perfect piece. I guess it must look pretty unpleasant to some of you that I work for nothing, perhaps even brutal. Perhaps I have an obvious disregard for authority, I have no idea, but I would sooner be working for myself, than under somebody else, excuse the pun! Small I maybe, but substantial I will become, eventually. My desk is the most chaotic mess, though surprisingly I know where everything is, and I think that I would be quite unsuited for a desk job. My views on matters vary and I am extremely open-minded to the stuff that I write about, but what I write about is the truth and getting it out there, because the people must be acquainted. Though I am quite entertained by what goes on in the world. My spotlight is mostly to do with politics, though I do write other material as well, but it's essentially politics that I am involved in, and I tend to concentrate my attention on that, however, information is essential. If you have information the possibilities are endless because you are only limited by your own imagination...
