With the adoption of agriculture, populations became increasingly geographically fixed, their survival dependent on regional fertility and weather patterns. The earth was seen as something to be cleared, exploited, and managed at will. Agriculture first encouraged then required a structured moral polarity to replace the deep empathic participation of the hunter-gatherers as the foundation of religious sensibility." The Aborigines say no to agriculture because it severs their profound participation in the dreamtime—and that's the pith of their existence.

This geomagnetic instability pattern propagates, influencing seasonal weather patterns, the human nervous system, even sociohis-toric events. For example, on March 13, 1989, says Landscheidt, we underwent an energetic magnetic storm. "This was a chance to be creative. Instability is the precondition of creativity. There is less inertia, more freedom. Old structures crash and new patterns emerge." The results are not always instantaneous, but they are inevitable. By the end of 1989, the Berlin Wall had been taken down.

Hamaker predicts that the turbulence created by these enormous bodies of air flowing rapidly in opposite directions will spawn ever more fierce hurricanes, tornadoes, and severe weather patterns. True to his forecast, Hurricane Gilbert in 1988 was the worst hurricane ever recorded in the Western Hemisphere. If Hamaker is right, this is just a sample of things to come. But how does this trigger an ice age? Normally, the rising warm air over the tropics would be somewhat cooled by the massive rain forest cover at those latitudes.

They also play key roles in maintaining worldwide weather patterns, creating rain, preventing soil erosion, and maintaining a diversity of wildlife. When we overcut forests and do not replenish them fully as mixed-species forests, the way nature grows them, we not only eliminate all these vital functions, we also release the carbon in the trees (either through burning or decay) back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. In the last fifty years alone, we have destroyed about 50 percent of our forests all ovet the world, and the pace of destruction continues to increase.

This can include major shifts in weather patterns and agricultural zones, severe droughts, and rising sea levels that could drastically flood coastal areas. Like smog and acid rain, our climate-change problems are mainly due to the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) and the destruction of our forests and plant life. During the twenty-three thousand times we inhale each day, our lungs take in thirty-five pounds of oxygen. All of this oxygen comes from plants, much of it from forests and ocean algae.

These weather patterns and their causes are the subject of the science of meteorology. Over longer time periods, changes in the earth's orbit or movement of the continents alter the patterns followed by the winds and the temperatures on the earth. Such changes in climate, of which the recurring ice ages are a good example, have had a profound effect on the development of the human race. Understanding long-term climate development is one of the major research fields in the earth sciences.

He believed this pattern was so powerful that the fluttering of butterfly wings in Japan could theoretically affect weather patterns worldwide. He corroborated that at the deepest level, small perturbations over time could make things happen in a way that they could not have happened without that perturbation. Even dynamic systems have some linear, defined order. And dynamic systems with greater frequencies are more prone to exhibiting chaotic relationships and turmoil disorganization. (Exhibit 13) presents the chaos pattern obtained from three seconds worth of energy field data.

The endangered species list has continued to grow, forests are burning, weather patterns are changing. This is causing more droughts and tornados. On and on the list goes. The statistics are all available. The broadcast and print media present these facts to us daily. Naturalists, environmentalists, and animal protection groups fight hard every day to gain a few victories over the onslaught of destruction. THEN AND NOW How far have we come since 1962? We would like to be optimistic and cite the victories and accomplishments. Certainly there have been some.

The flock begins to encircle the sky, setting up a circling current of air, which affects other currents, until local weather patterns are perturbed, eventually giving rise to a tornado. This is Malcolm's message in Jurassic Park: that the whole artificially created ecosystem is so complex that it is ultimately unpredictable. He maintains that it is sheer hubris and all-too-human arrogance to believe that we can tamper unscathed with these complicated natural systems.

Perhaps we already experience this purification in the dramatic changes in weather patterns around the world and the havoc they have wrought. Solutions must begin within, for pollution begins in our pathological mis-perceptions of identity and relationship emphasizing myopic vision of separateness and short-term gain. There is, as ecologist Barry Commoner tells us, "no free lunch." "Modern society critically needs to strengthen its understanding of human, ecological, and spiritual values to balance its runaway technological prowess," declared Willis Harmon of the Institute for Noetic Science.

Minneapolis, we think, ought to have colder winters than Miami, no matter how much local weather patterns shift around. If the earth's climate changes, we expect it to happen over many thousands of years, so that living things can adapt. The conventional wisdom is that one of the great dangers of greenhouse warming, should it occur, is that average global temperatures would change rapidly and ecosystems would be unable to adjust before species are driven to extinction. While the amount of expected greenhouse warming isn't unprecedented in the earth's history, the speed is.

If, for example, we make a seven-day forecast based on weather patterns at 6 p.m., then another based on patterns at 9 p.m., the two predicted patterns may be different because we started from slightly different points. This isn't a problem that can be solved with better computer programs ?it's built into the earth's atmosphere. It is the reason that until 1995 the National Weather Service was willing to make detailed predictions only three to five days into the future. In 1996, however, the NWS started to push these forecasts to seven days, with some hope of eventually going beyond that.

Since the mid-1970s there has been a dramatic increase in flooding, drought, and attendant hardships due to inconsistent, anomalous weather patterns. It appears likely that these have been caused in part by electropollution and perhaps enhanced, whether deliberately or not, by the Soviet woodpecker signal. It now seems feasible to induce catastrophic climate change over a target country, and even without such weather warfare, continued expansion of the electrical power system threatens the viability of all life on earth.

Recent work with sounding rockets has matched specific areas of such ion precipitation with the energy from specific radio stations, and established that the sifting down of charged particles generally occurs east of the EMR source, following the general eastward drift of weather patterns. In 1983, measurements from the Ariel 3 and 4 weather satellites showed that the enormous amount of PLHR over North America had created a permanent duct from the magnetosphere down into the upper air, resulting in a continuous release of ions and energy over the whole continent.

Artificial satellites in orbit around the earth have many uses, including relaying communication signals, making accurate surveys and inventories of the earth's surface and weather patterns, and carrying out scientific experiments. secondary recovery A method of getting crude oil out of fields from which no more oil can be obtained by ordinary pumping. After secondary recovery has been completed, tertiary recovery techniques can be employed to remove more oil.
