“This incredible weather shows that climate change is already taking a toll now and that it is — by far — one of the biggest challenges ever faced by this region,” he said.
These countries have grappled with remarkably warm summers in recent years, but this year has been particularly brutal. Parts of the United Arab Emirates and Iran experienced a heat index — a measurement that factors in humidity as well as temperature — that soared to 140 degrees in July, and Jiddah, Saudi Arabia, recorded an all-time high temperature of nearly 126 degrees. Southern Morocco’s relatively cooler climate suddenly sizzled last month, with temperatures surging to highs between 109 and 116 degrees. In May, record-breaking temperatures in Israel led to a surge in heat-related illnesses.
Temperatures in Kuwait and Iraq startled observers. On July 22, the mercury climbed to 129 degrees in the southern Iraqi city of Basra. A day earlier, it reached 129.2 in Mitribah, Kuwait. If confirmed by the World Meteorological Organization, the two temperatures would be the hottest ever recorded in the Eastern Hemisphere.

The bad news isn’t over, either. Iraq’s heat wave is expected to continue this week……..https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/an-epic-middle-east-heat-wave-could-be-global-warmings-hellish-curtain-raiser/2016/08/09/c8c717d4-5992-11e6-8b48-0cb344221131_story.html

Dear friends 09/12/16
It has come to my attention that a major environmental conference is being put on by the U.S. State Department that has it’s focus on ocean sustainability?
See website http://ourocean2016.org/#event *:O) clown
Our Ocean, One Future: Leadership Summit will take place at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. on Sept. 15th. & Sept. 16th.
Fukushima radiation and weather modification or geoengineering are not going to be a topic for this conference or for any of their speakers in attendance. I believe that there needs to be a call put forth for activist to come together and visit this event to both educate the student body and to challenge the U.S. State Dept. for it’s silence on the death of the Pacific Ocean and the intentional contamination of our air threw weather modification programs. This conference is the gravest hypocrisy when the North American shore line is dying as well as the north Pacific Ocean without a word of concern by those in attendance. I will be onsite Sept. 15th. however I have no signs, no information to share with the student body at this time.
I believe this conference host a perfect opportunity given the setting as well as the student body to make a real impact and bring awareness to these misguided efforts that are being funded by the U.S. government and state funded universities. Please consider using your media efforts to let others know about this conference and the need to educate the student body on Fukushima radiation of our Pacific Ocean and the geoengineering that is killing our planet.
Thank You Robert
