    “This study updates an article published in NHESS journal in 2015 [link above] and investigates long-term changes in landslide-triggering rainfall conditions in Calabria (southern Italy) over 1921–2020. A catalogue of 3,006 rainfall events associated with landslides (RELs) was reconstructed using 9,530 landslide records and daily rainfall measurements from 318 gauges. Rainfall thresholds were calculated for 15 30-year moving windows to investigate the triggering conditions of the RELs. Results show a marked increase in the number of RELs after 2009, shifts in seasonal occurrence, and decreasing rainfall duration and cumulative amounts. Triggering rainfall shows an overall decreasing trend over the years…”

    Declassified CIA files reveal secret #WeatherManipulation projects to 'control world'

    Previously top-secret CIA files allege that the US plans to control the world by manipulating the weather.

    by Olivia Beeson, June 10, 2026

    "The documents surrounding weather modification were declassified in 2003, and discuss the tactic of launching rockets or planes to release chemicals into the atmosphere that alter the climate and storm systems.

    "These documents resurfaced from 1965, and highlighted how this tactic could be use as a weapon of war in the future.

    " 'However, it did not specify what chemicals were used in the experiments.

    "The documents stated that federal funding for weather modification was due to be four times higher in 1967 - the year the US began spraying #toxins over #Vietnam to cause #floods and #landslides."

  8. The Case for Letting Malibu Burn
    Bushfires and sprawl: Man-made catastrophes and cultural narratives

    The lethal mixture of home ownership and the bush: Neighborhoods on fire.
    "Since 1993. almost half of California’s new homes have been built in fire hazard areas...Commercial greed over common sense and the social good."

    The aristocratisation of the coast
    "In a feverish buying and selling of land, the coast has become utterly transformed and unrecognizable. Each succeeding house, bigger and grander, takes the view of its neighbors in a kind of unbridled competition.… Once lost, paradise can never be regained.… Developers have bulldozed the Santa Monicas beyond recovery."
