“Don’t mess with Mother Nature,” and, “It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.” These were lines from a series of catchy 1970s margarine ads. When Mother Nature is fooled, bad things happen, including bad weather.

We accept that hail storms, hurricanes, tornadoes and blizzards are all part of the natural order. Hurricanes and Typhoons destroy villages, cities, and whole coastlines. Tornadoes destroy in a few minutes, that which took decades to build. Hailstorms damage cars and homes, and destroy crops. Droughts bring starvation and death to millions. Many of us still remember the heatwave that stunned the world in 2003. According to the daily newsletter, New Scientist.

At least 35,000 people died as a result of the record heatwave that scorched Europe in August 2003 . . . The EPI calculated the huge death toll from the eight western European countries with data available. “Since reports are not yet available for all European countries, the total heat death toll for the continent is likely to be substantially larger” . . . France suffered the worst losses, with 14,802 people dying from causes attributable to the blistering heat. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn4259-european-heatwave-caused-35000-deaths/

But is all weather capricious? Must humanity live in a world where weather disasters lurk around the corner? On today’s program, I’m asking and answering the question, “Why Extreme Weather?” And I’m offering a brand new booklet on the subject, titled, “Acts of God: Why Natural Disasters?” Be sure to have writing material available to take down the contact information to receive your FREE copy. Stay tuned as I’ll be right back to answer the question, “Why Extreme Weather?”

Violence in the form of thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes (also known as typhoons or cyclones) are a constant danger in some parts of our world. Hailstorms inflict damage to homes, automobiles, and crops. Droughts result in crop losses, destructive fires, starvation and loss of life. Blizzards take lives and make life miserable for any caught out in them. Scientists can tell us where and how extreme weather occurs, but do they know WHY?

A surprising number of people believe that some, if not most so called natural disasters, are the result of chemicals sprayed in the upper atmosphere. Their evidence is contrails that they refer to as chem-trails. The rumor of a government conspiracy began spreading in 1996 and continues even though it has been shown in old photographs that contrails existed decades before the so-called conspiracy began, but to no avail. It’s harder to knock down a conspiracy theory than to turn lead into gold. Some people are convinced by nearly anything they read on the Internet, no matter the facts.

There is no doubt that attempts to alter climate have, and still do occur. “Cloud seeding” schemes have been around since the mid-1940’s and are practiced by a number of countries. One famous claim for success came in 2009 when Hebei Province in China attempted to end a severe drought.

Engineers blasted more than 400 cigarette-size sticks of silver iodide into the sky shortly before the storm, and a senior engineer told Reuters that it was “a procedure that made the snow a lot heavier” (Scientific American, Feb. 19, 2009).
