"Some growers own satellite systems linked to computers that monitor weather patterns. During ice storms, radar-activated hail guns fire sonic waves that melt the ice pellets into rain. Leonardo da Vinci suggested planting citrus orchards near streams, so that the water could power heat-generating fans in the winter. Today, digital alarms linked to propane heaters and windmill-like hot-air machines protect crops during chills. Helicopters are flown over plantings to circulate warm air and disperse mist or moisture." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"When Jacob Bjerknes, the first scientist to identify the Walker Circulation that has governed Pacific Ocean weather patterns for thousands of years, published his famous hypothesis in 1969, he pointed out that each ENSO (El Nino-Southern Oscillation) episode has a unique personality: Some are intensely strong, others are weaker and shorter-lived. But all of them show remarkable similarities in their development, mature phases, and demise. Only a narrow coterie of scientists took note of Bjerknes's theories until 1972-1973." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) "Current circulations, ocean upwellings, atmospheric conditions, and weather patterns were probably different from those of today. Then massive global warming set in with breathtaking speed. The late Ice Age world vanished within a few millennia. Ice sheets shrank, sea levels rose rapidly, and summer and winter temperatures rose dramatically. We still live in the midst of the Ice Age." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) "The warm air shouldered aside normal seasonal weather patterns to impose its own. February 1998 saw a change in the Northern Hemisphere jet stream. Warm tropical air, pulled into the north, brought above-normal temperatures to North America, Europe, and eastern Asia. Land temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere reached their highest levels since 1950. Globally, the combined air temperature over land and sea surface for February was 0.75 degrees Celsius above normal, breaking the record for the highest departure from the 1961-1990 mean for any month back to 1856." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) "Thus epidemiologists can infer that a change in weather patterns that will tend to keep people indoors together (where they are more likely to infect each other) may cause the infection rate to increase above the removal rate. The epidemic will then begin, but the absolute number of infectives will grow slowly at first. If, in this example, the weather changes fairly soon again in such a way that the infection rate is brought back down, so that the number of infectives never becomes very large, then the epidemic will fail to be noticed by the general public." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which tracks these volatile space weather patterns, reckons that over any given solar cycle, geomagnetic storms in space will occur about a third of the time, and almost half of them are severe enough to interfere with modern technology. Storms of this magnitude (G5, maximum severity on the NOAA scale) can disrupt portions of the Earth's electrical power, pipeline flow, and high-tech communications systems, and disorient spacecraft: and satellite navigation systems." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"This year it is fifty degrees in February and no snow, how odd, but not surprising given the changing weather patterns across the planet due to global warming. I place my hand in the track, cupping it sideways to make a moon shape. My hand fits so nicely in the grooved-out spot, made by a big fellow or maybe a gal. Where do these wanderings lead? Probably to the striped maple also known as moosewood—a favorite delicacy at this time of year. I stop at a striped maple and nibble a twig, very astringent, but there, on the back of my tongue, almost sweet." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"Investigations of weather patterns and cargo data from the New Orleans harbor identified soy dust from ships carrying soybeans as the probable cause. No association was found between asthma-epidemic days and the presence of wheat or corn in ships in the harbor. The researchers concluded: "The results of this analysis provide further evidence that ambient soy dust is very asthmogenic and that asthma morbidity in a community can be influenced by exposures in the ambient atmosphere." Soy contains built-in insecticides called isoflavones (genistein and daidzein)." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"In these regions, home to hundreds of millions of inhabitants: • Changing weather patterns create drought, devastating storms, and widespread harvest failures. • Coastal areas are flooded by rising sea levels. • Famine spreads in areas dependent on adequate rainfall for food production and areas exposed to tornados, hurricanes, and violent storms. • Massive waves of migrants from the worst-hit areas seek areas where resources are more assured." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"Kerr wanted to be absolutely sure that his cocktail was a success, especially before word of his work stirred the hopes of any patients. Several patients who were involved in advocacy work for transverse myelitis had been keeping abreast of his stem-cell research. One young woman in particular, Cody Unser, the daughter of ex-racecar driver Al Unser, Jr., had been deeply involved in raising funds to help find a cure for TM, and Kerr had come to know her well." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"This Seasonal cycles and weather patterns allow Nature to clean and detoxify herself. Cold, raw weather should be embraced as it brings clean air and active oxygen. negative self expects failure and is seldom disappointed. It dwells on poverty, greed, superstition, fear, doubt, worry and physical sickness. The "other self" is a positive sort of person who thinks in dynamic, affirmative terms of wealth, sound health, love and friendship, personal achievement, creative vision, service to others, and who guides one unerringly to the attainment of those blessings." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.)

"It forecast increasingly violent weather patterns that could lead to declining crop yields of as much as one third by the end of the century. The Chinese Politburo has committed to doubling its capacity for renewable energy to 16% of national consumption by 2020, an extraordinarily ambitious goal given the Politburo's simultaneous ambition to quadruple the country's gross domestic product by that same year." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.)

"In the early 1970s, climatologists discovered that some of the best records of historic weather patterns were filed away in the glaciers and ice plateaus of northern Greenland. It was hard, treacherous work—if you're imagining the stereotypical lab rat in a white coat, think again. This was Extreme Sports: Ph.D.—multinational teams trekking across miles of ice, climbing thousands of feet, hauling tons of machines, and enduring altitude sickness and freakish cold, all so they could bore into a two-mile core of ice." - Dr. Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease (Get the book.) "All kinds of environmental factors have affected our evolution, from shifting weather patterns to changing food supplies—even dietary preferences that are largely cultural. It's as if the whole world is engaged in an intricate, multilevel dance, where we're all partners, sometimes leading, sometimes following, but always affecting one another's movements—a global, evolutionary Macarena. Third, mutation isn't bad; more to the point, it's not only good for X-Men. Mutation just means change—when mutations are bad, they don't survive; when they're good, they lead to the evolution of a new trait." - Dr. Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease (Get the book.)

"Because El Nino effectively reverses the Pacific's weather patterns - causing floods in Peru's Atacama Desert and droughts in Indonesia and Australia - it has knock-on effects (known as teleconnections) right across the planet. On the good side, the north-eastern US tends to experience mild winters, and increases in wind shear over the tropical Atlantic dampen down the Caribbean hurricane season. On the other hand, droughts in forested areas from Amazonia to Papua New Guinea spark devastating fires, whilst rainfall deficits also cause harvest failures and famines in southern Africa." - Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.)

"Before factory farming, most crop species appeared in hundreds of varieties that were often admirably adapted to local soil types, weather patterns, and growing conditions. Replacing these many "heirloom" varieties with a few industrially bred ones not only allowed for the creation of the monocultures that corporate farms spray so vehemently to defend, it also drove many heirloom varieties into extinction. As we move away from petrochemical-based agriculture, we need to both rediscover and reinvent heirlooms." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Although the floodwaters didn't reach the mountains, the weather patterns that followed brought heavy cloud cover, thunder, lightning, and rain. The nearest roads were rendered impassable and still remained that way. The MAF planes were grounded. Many of these remote villages lost their entire cash crop for the year. The villagers merely shrugged their shoulders and went home, leaving the beans to rot on the runways. As the farmers were self-sufficient in food production, this wasn't too bad, but two years without any cash would be a serious problem." - Dean Cycon, Javatrekker: Dispatches From the World of Fair Trade Coffee (Get the book.)

"Consider how tree rings give us a record, not only of how long a tree has been in existence, but also, by their varying width, of changing weather patterns throughout the tree's lifetime. Think of the way in which geological strata, and the fossils they contain, embody information about the history of the earth and its flora and fauna. Traces, then, are effects or remnants of things that previously existed or occurred. But not all such effects or remnants are traces." - Michael Lockwood, The Labyrinth of Time: Introducing the Universe (Get the book.)

"Global warming has been "tamed" and the Earth's temperature, ozone and weather have balanced out to ensure adequate polar ice caps and predictable, normalized weather patterns and environments supportive of all life on Earth. The ecosystem has returned to balance. Governments, environmentalists and business have found a happy medium that protects animals and the Earth. No longer are any species endangered, and their numbers are regulated by nature. There is clean air and water everywhere and all forms of toxic waste have been cleaned up." - Jackie Lapin, The Art of Conscious Creation: How You Can Transform the World (Get the book.) "Global warming has been "tamed" and the Earth's temperature, ozone, and weather have balanced out to ensure adequate polar ice caps and predictable, normalized weather patterns and balanced environments the world over. There is clean air and water everywhere and all sources of toxic waste have been eliminated and residual toxicity cleaned up. Plagues of pests like the bark beetle have been controlled and the Earth is once again a healthy organism. The oceans are no longer polluted, and they support a healthy habitat for sea life and coral." - Jackie Lapin, The Art of Conscious Creation: How You Can Transform the World (Get the book.)

"For over sixty years, scientists have attempted to modify our weather patterns by dispersing crystals of silver iodide into the atmosphere, attracting to their surface water molecules, in crystalline form, in a process known as 'cloud seeding.' The shape of these water crystals has been shown to exactly match the crystals of silver iodide, even though no chemical transfer is known to take place.15 It is also now known that the atoms within water molecules remain entangled even after they have been physically separated. It is speculated that this is one of the properties at play in homeopathy." - Robin, Dr. Kelly, The Human Antenna: Reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Get the book.)

"We pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, altering the planet's weather patterns, which facilitates the spread of disease-causing organisms. In June 2002 scientists reported the first evidence that global warming was accelerating outbreaks of new and more virulent diseases in a range of plant and animal species, and that the same warming could trigger a similar acceleration of diseases in humans.12 More of us are traveling to foreign countries, where we may pick up exotic microbes and carry them back to our families and friends. This is why SARS spread so rapidly." - Elinor Levy, Mark Fischetti, The New Killer Diseases: How the Alarming Evolution of Germs Threatens Us All (Get the book.)

"World weather patterns are very variable, and in 1845 there was no proper appreciation of conditions in the New World or the Southern Hemisphere. It was not economically viable to prepare for a shortage that might or might not take place. Furthermore, grain storage at that time, which was mostly in stacks or ricks, was a doubtful proposition; off-farm storage was not safe from pests or weather until concrete or steel silos were introduced in the 1880s. Nor can a market be self-managing in the absence of reliable statistics." - Henry Hobhouse, Seeds of Change: Six Plants That Transformed Mankind (Get the book.)

"Even when "normal" weather patterns returned after 1318, there was a scarcity of seed grain to resume full food production and the famine lingered. The mortality rate was high and all classes eventually suffered. Ten to 15 percent of the population died, most from disease induced by weakened immunity. The famine certainly provided a vivid and tangible sense of limits for the number of people the region could support, a warning from the earth to its inhabitants that was, of course, interpreted as a punishment visited by God for man's wickedness." - James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.)

"The same techniques used for reconnaissance of the Earth, including imaging of geological features, tracking of weather patterns, radar study of surface features, and spectroscopic measurements of temperature and atmospheric composition, have been used to study planets, moons, comets, and asteroids.

"The actual frequency varies according to the height of the ionosphere and large-scale weather patterns, but is generally in the 8?0 Hertz range. I feel sure it is no coincidence that this frequency is virtually identical with that of the hippocampus of mammalian species. What is worrying is that modern cities have very low levels of Schumann waves, as most of these waves are absorbed by the vast masses of concrete and metal buildings. The gradual lowering of the land water table has also added to the deficiency. This must have severe and unavoidable health consequences for city dwellers." - Keith Scott-Mumby, Virtual Medicine: A New Dimension in Energy Healing (Get the book.)
