Synchronous earthquakes in Chile as a sign of impending disaster
4 synchronous strong earthquakes off the coast of Chile (2 magnitude 6.7 and 2 magnitude 6.8) are the harbingers of a devastating earthquake.
If you look closely at the data on seismic events on different monitoring systems, on December 27, 2020 at 21:39 UTC, three or four strong earthquakes occurred in Chile. These are called synchronous earthquakes, each of which has an “s-wave” and “p-wave”.
Officially, all seismic stations announced only one earthquake, as stated on Twitter of the National Seismological Center of Chile.

The focus was located at a depth of 23 km. The earthquake occurred 144 km west of the village of Tolten, the Araucania region.

According to the Chilean radio station Cooperativa, the aftereffects of the earthquake were felt in various southern regions of the country. The hydrographic and oceanographic service of the republic clarified that the characteristics of the earthquake do not correspond to the necessary conditions for the occurrence of a tsunami.
Seismologists later reported several smaller aftershocks in the same region. One earthquake with a magnitude of 3.7 was recorded off the coast west of the city of Valdivia, the epicenter of another with a magnitude of 3.5 was 149 km west of Tolten.
There were no reports of casualties or damage to infrastructure.
Since these large earthquakes were synchronous, seismic stations, at their discretion, choose one of several earthquakes as the main one.
So it’s not that there were none, it’s just that different seismic networks removed 2 (or 3) of those strong shocks.
These earthquakes synchronized with each other at the same epicenter give a direct warning of the events that follow!
Of the 36 known magnitude 8.5 earthquakes in the world since 1500, one third have occurred in Chile.
Apparently, very soon a new earthquake with a magnitude of 8.5 will occur again?
Earlier in December, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.1 occurred off the coast of the Philippines. Its epicenter was located 22 km from the Sarangani region, and the focus lay at a depth of 27 km. No casualties or damage were reported.

Scientists – It is much colder today than in the last 8,000 years
Undisputed temperature reconstructions from around the world show that for much of the Holocene (last 10,000 years), the planet was much warmer than it is today.
Kenneth recently wrote how many new studies of glacier and sea ice sizes show that Iceland is 2-4 ° C colder today than it has been in the past 8,000 years. Only the late 19th century was a little colder.
This post was posted on WUWT and the author provided additional graphics there from other parts of the world showing that the early Holocene was warmer around the world.
First, South America, which shows 100 years ago that it was much warmer from the 1930s to the 1950s than it is today:
Next, we have a 7000-year reconstruction of the Canadian Arctic temperature:
Note that, as many of us already know, the Arctic was much warmer in the early Holocene than it is today.
Finally, let’s take a look at the Swiss Alps, which are 9,000 years old:
Here we see that today it is very cold in the Alps compared to the early Holocene. Old tree trunks found under the glaciers confirm this.
A WUWT reader added that he has “a lot more of this type of graphs, which show very clearly that the whole wolrld has been much warmer for much of the last 10,000 years than it is now.”
And there are really a lot of them!
Medieval warm period, confirmed by hundreds of works
Sebastian Lüning’s remarkable and outstanding Medieval Warm Period reference map, shows hundreds of climatic reconstructions from this period. There we find a lot of research that shows that there is nothing unusual about today’s climate compared to what it was 1000 years ago.
Here are 80 charts from 58 peer-reviewed articles showing the same.

Polar vortex: “wild” winter is coming in the US, Northern Europe and East Asia after the 16th of January
In the upper atmosphere above the North Pole, experts saw a rapidly swirling vortex of cold air that could bring severe frosts to the United States, Northern Europe and East Asia. Serious cold snap and snowy weather are expected after January the 16th.
Snowfalls and a cold snap hit South Korea since the start of 2021, hitting historic snow maximums and temperatures. In the country, for the first time since 1964, television and newer communications are sending people cold snap warnings:
winter in South Korea. very cold my friend. enjoy the snow while drinking hot bitter coffee. pic.twitter.com/WcycIEpf2y

The situation is similar in Japan, where a new snow storm hit historic highs:
On January 7, the thermometer In Beijing dropped to -20 degrees Celsius, breaking the 1966 record. In other regions of China, the temperature is also not sugar, and you can only move around in special uniforms:
The cold even reached Taiwan, where the temperature in some areas dropped below freezing point, snow poured down and people realized that rice terraces can be used as a ski jump:
Even more snow went to Spain, where on January 6, 2021, a temperature of -34.1 ° C was recorded – the lowest on record. After that, a snow storm hit the country, which has not been seen for 80 years:
The same thing happens in Canada and in the northern states of the United States:
I’m not too sure. But this is the current situation out there. Has not stopped blowing in over 24 hours!! pic.twitter.com/J69zeiHW01

It seems that after a stratospheric warming, the subpolar vortex began to split:
I wrote in the December 21, 2020 blog our #PolarVortex (PV) model is predicting a major sudden stratospheric warming in early January and then again third week of January. Based on latest model forecasts there really does seem to be two distinct polar warming events in January. pic.twitter.com/vcMCPztoAh

The vortex itself is a standard phenomenon. However, this time experts were surprised at his movement. It is possible that in the near future it will be divided into two parts.
Scientists associate the strange behavior with the changed climate in the Arctic, which has become warmer. From September to December, the amount of ice cover decreased significantly.
The polar vortex is a low-pressure region located in the stratosphere and filled with cold air. When the jet stream of air that holds the vortex weakens, the low pressure area moves south.
As the ice shrinks, more moisture will move inland. It will turn to snow, so snowfalls are expected. Snow, in turn, reflects heat, leading to a cold snap.

Hospital in Naples was evacuated after a new, huge sinkhole appeared
Eyewitnesses said they heard a loud crash at dawn when a huge hole in the ground formed outside the Ponticelli Ospedale del Mare hospital in eastern Naples.
Early in the morning of January 8, 2021, a sinkhole occurred in the parking lot of a clinic in Naples. The depth of the formed cavity is about 20 meters, the total area of the hole is about 2,000 square meters.
No casualties were found at the scene; firefighters say the sinkhole “affected an area of about 500 square meters” and engulfed several cars parked near the hospital.
As the press writes and as a little can be seen from the videos, rescuers and firefighters were running around the pit together with the governor of the area. But who should be there in the forefront are Italian geologists, since Naples stands in the very center of the volcanic system known as the Phlegrean Fields.
If the surface collapsed, moreover – the surface reinforced with concrete and reinforced from below with some kind of communications, then we are talking about serious soil deformations caused by the activity of magma.
Italy has been in doubt since the summer of 2020, because swarms were observed there in very atypical places in May, and according to the forecasts of old Italian seismologists, who had witnessed many strong earthquakes, it should have boomed in the August region.
Fortunately, nothing bad happened to Italy and there was no big earthquake. But, since there are swarms, it means that something is being prepared, the magma is gathering strength.
Following this particular sinkhole event – an obvious sign that a major earthquake in Italy is already very close.
