Dozens of dead bats were found this weekend at Washington Park Beach. Many beachgoers tried to move them away from the water to protect their children. Some people went to enjoy the nice weather, but then were shoveling up the bats from the beachfront and putting them in garbage cans. Some washing up from shore and some were found in the sound. WSBT tried to reach out to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources for an explanation, but we have not heard back.

An article published on July 31 in Nature Ecology & Evolution reveals that Luzio, the oldest human skeleton found in So Paulo state (Brazil), was a descendant of the ancestral population that settled the Americas at least 16,000 years ago and gave rise to all present-day Indigenous peoples, such as the Tupi. Based on the largest set of Brazilian archaeological genomic data, the study reported in the article also offers an explanation for the disappearance of the oldest coastal communities, the residents of which built the icons of Brazilian archaeology known as "sambaquis," huge mounds of shells and fishbones used as dwellings, cemeteries and territorial boundaries. Archaeologists often refer to these monuments as shell mounds or kitchen middens.

Since the 1970s, residents of Indias Punjab region have built ornately bizarre water tanks atop their houses.

Rajesh Vora, an India-based photographer who has shot architecture for more than 20 years, has seen all kinds of building designs. But while on assignment about a decade ago in Doaba, a rural region of Punjab, he noticed something that took him by surprise: rooftop water tanks taking on shockingly weird shapes. Like really weird.  Were talking airplane propped on top of checkered cube weird. Soccer ball levitating on a polka dotted golf tee or spiral stair topped with a giant beach umbrella weird. Giant golden kangaroo with boxing gloves weird. You get the idea.

Two people are reported to have died in severe flooding that has engulfed parts of Beijing, as Typhoon Doksuri passed through China's capital. People's Daily reported on Monday that two people were found unresponsive in a river in Mentougou, a district in west Beijing that has suffered some of the worst flooding. According to state broadcaster CCTV, more than 31,000 people have evacuated their homes in the city. Heavy rain continued to fall in Beijing as well as in Hebei, Tianjin and eastern Shanxi as Doksuri dissipated over northern China, the China Meteorological Administration said. Doksuri is one of the strongest storms to hit China in years and caused widespread flooding over the weekend in the southern province of Fujian, driving hundreds of thousands of people from their homes.

COMMENT: All of a sudden, El Nio is proof of global warming, just like the wildfires in Australia and California, as if these things never happened before. The sheep believe whatever the press tells them. Thats why you cannot stop the cycle, and 2032 is now not so far away.

HW

ANSWER: El Nio and La Nia are climate patterns in the Pacific Ocean that have impacted weather worldwide for centuries. This very intense cycle will increase the risk of famine in parts of the world from 2024 to 2025. Here is a chart of the temperatures back to 1950. Look closely, and you will see that the cycle is very violent. It goes from hot and then plunges into a Panic Cycle type move immediately thereafter.

El Nio events are thought to have occurred for thousands of years, and only now are people claiming this is proof of humans changing the environment. It is believed that historically the Indians in Peru sacrificed humans to try to prevent the rains caused by a severe El Nio. Perhaps they might have had better success by offering politicians instead of virgins. These people latch on to anything and now with ZERO proof, they tell everyone that it is Climate Change that is making it hotter.

Typhoon Doksuri has caused widespread flooding and landslides in the southeastern province of Fujian after making landfall on Friday morning. As it moves north and deeper inland, the cyclone will bring extreme rainfall to Beijing and its neighbouring provinces, affecting 130 million people, according to the National Meteorological Centre. Meteorologists said the intensity of rainfall in northern China from Saturday to Tuesday could reach or exceed a 2012 downpour in Beijing that killed 79 people. As of Wednesday morning, the heaviest rainfall so far in this year's flood season had affected more than 37,000 people in the district, with at least 15 dead and four missing, according to the state broadcaster CCTV.
