The Cruel Tempest and the reasons behind its Creation

(Before It's News)

The cruel tempest that has raged over the Eastern United States has ended. Many lives have been lost and the work on many millions has been ruined.  We can understand the cause of the storm – a convergence of a hurricane called Sandy with high tides and a new moon and the added intensity of cold weather fronts, but we do not understand why, in 2012, the worse storm that we have known has struck this part of the world. We do not fully know the reasons behind the creation of this extreme weather event.

There are other extreme weather events which are presently affecting us, and they reveal themselves in economic and productive costs. Most wine growing areas of the world have seen a sharp decrease in wine production. This has particularly affected France, New Zealand and South American. Wine is becoming more expensive.  Most grain growing regions have had their production severely curtailed by drought of an exceptional nature, including Central United States, Russia and the Ukraine. Fewer oranges have been grown this year. There is less food in the world.

So the wine makers and the grain users will dip into their reserves and hope for a good season in 2013. The reserves are finite and the world needs a break from extreme weather conditions in order to replenish reserves.

Those of us who think that extreme weather conditions are exacerbated by increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide will argue that extreme weather events will increase in number and in severity as a result of the changes in the world’s major air and sea oscillations caused by subtle and small changes in the atmosphere. Those of us who do not think that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide has no adverse effect upon our planet may have to think again.
