TRANSPORT CHAOS IN SNOW-HIT CHINA |
[as found on the 'net]

TRANSPORT CHAOS IN SNOW-HIT CHINA
Travellers stranded
The heaviest snow in decades is continuing to cause chaos across China
ahead of the busy Lunar New Year holiday, state media report.
Road and rail links have been cut, thwarting tens of millions of
travellers trying to return home.
Premier Wen Jiaboa went to one of the worst-hit provinces and told
would-be travellers the trains would run soon.
Reports so far say more than 50 people have been killed in the cold, 25
when a bus slid from an icy road in Guizhou.
The snowstorms, which began on 10 January, are the worst for half a
century and have affected nearly 80 million people across 14 provinces.

instant noodle" Frustrated traveller on Guangzhou-Hunan highway
The central provinces of Hunan and Hubei have been hardest hit, but
eastern provinces are also affected.
Houses and agricultural land have been destroyed, leading to economic
losses totalling 22.09bn yuan ($3bn, £1.5bn), the official news agency
Xinhua said.
Highways blocked
Transport woes have been exacerbated by the fact that tens of millions
of people, many of them migrant workers from other parts of China, are
travelling to visit their families for the Chinese New Year holiday,
beginning on 7 February.
The Lunar New Year festivities are as important to many Chinese people
as Christmas is in the West - particularly as the holiday is often they
only time some people see their families.
In Guangzhou, about half a million people have been unable to travel
because snow in Hunan has blocked a key rail link with Beijing.
Officials were trying to accommodate the stranded passengers, who were
creating camps around the station.
Police and soldiers were also on the scene to control the crowd.
Highways connecting Guangzhou and Hunan have also been blocked, with
20,000 vehicles stranded on one expressway, Xinhua said.
In one of them was a man taking 10 children to visit their migrant
worker parents in Guangdong.
"Today is our fifth day on the bus," he told the agency. "Every day we
each get two packs of instant noodles to eat."
Tens of thousands more people were said to be waiting at stations across
central and eastern China, while flights have been delayed or cancelled.
More snow
Mr Wen made a difficult journey to see some waiting travellers in the
capital of Hunan province, Changsha.
He had to go via neighbouring Hubei province because the airport at
Changsha was closed by the icy conditions.
After meeting senior officials. he went to the city's railway station,
where he told stranded travellers: "First of all we need to get the
electricity running, then it will not take much time for everyone to be
able to go home and pass the Lunar New Year."
Power shortages have also become a problem, with Mr Wen warning of
serious difficulties.
Stockpiles of coal - upon which many of China's power stations depend -
are low and 17 provinces have introduced blackouts to ration power.
Officials say aid is being set aside to help hardest-hit provinces.
Economics professor Shi Jinchuan from the university of Zhejiang in
Hangzhou - where the army has put up huge tents capable of holding
hundreds of stranded travellers - told the BBC the bad weather posed
several challenges to the government's economic policies:
* It might be necessary to invest more in transport infrastructure,
testing the government's spending plans
* Prices are already rising, because of supply shortages
* Higher temporary prices might feed through into longer-term inflation
In the short term, though, more snow is forecast for central regions in
the next few days, making an early end to the chaos unlikely.

This story reveals how electricity is used in rail transportation, how
Coal and Oil is used in both transportation and generation of
electricity, and how "unseasonable" or "Atypical" weather caused by
Global Warming can disrupt that cycle. Without transportation, coal can
not be delivered to the electric generation plants. Coal, Oil and
Electricity are used in heating people's homes.
Global Warming has not caused an average warming of the atmosphere. What
the warming of the atmosphere by two or three degrees has caused is
"Atypical", Unusual or "Unseasonable" weather patterns.
The same "Unseasonable" weather has been seen in England, Africa and
other parts of the world. These "Atypical Weather Patterns" will
continue, and will get worse.
It is the consequence of the third Seal...
....and the fourth seal is next, soon.

Glen read my posts the four seals of Revelation already happened in
the period 1914 AD - 1944 AD.
You are correct that the first two seals were opened prior to WW1 and
WW2. These events include the Beginning of Sorrows, (Mat 24:7-8) and the
release of Satan from the pit (Rev 20:7-8).
I believe it possible that the third seal (global warming) was opened in
45-50.
The fourth Seal has not been opened yet.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the
fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him
was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them
over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger,
and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Several facts for you to compare to human events.
*power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill
with sword,
First, a fourth part of the earth...
The death toll during WW1 and WW2 does not equate to a fourth part of
the earth -- either by population, or by geographic area.
Second, to kill with the sword.
Weapons of war. Nuclear weapons can (and will) kill millions
*and with hunger,
Famine: Famine is caused by
weather (global warming)
by war
or pestilence
crop failure by other causes
*and with death,
Any form of death other than war, famine or beasts
*and with the beasts of the earth.
You can do some research on humans killed in various nations after
1900...
Quote one source:
"Mountain lion attacks on people apparently increased dramatically since
1986. For example, in California, there were two fatal attacks in 1890
and 1909, and then no further attacks for 77 years, until 1986
http://tchester.org/sgm/lists/lion_attacks.html
Considering just one piece of information (cougar attacks in the US
state of California, then, the fourth seal was not opened before 1980.
I think the fourth seal will be opened soon (if it was not opened in
1980), and will soon result in nuclear war. The first three Trumpets
will sound at about the same time.
