Yes yes, we all know how the weather started going insane with the advent
of industrialization - but do you have concrete evidence showing a LINK
here? As of now I see mere coincidence which could be explained away by
stating that the earth is merely approaching the end of the current cycle,
and is winding down - moving towards an ice age - and our
industrialization was a mere coincidence. Prove me wrong, Jerry. :)

Like the funnel clouds in california - along with the hailstones,
thunderstorms (not like they arent unheard of - just not common in my
particular area), drenching rain at times, flooding, etc. etc. Gee, can't
wait until the snowpack melts - then we'll REALLY see some flooding.

Utterly useless, but suit yourself. Frankly, I'm more interested in a new
twist on physics. One of the few proven sciences that parallels physics is
economics ('the undiscovered energy science' as one person once put it).
Economics conforms to known law (newton, EM, etc)... and therefore would
serve as a perfect vehicle to perform 'compairitive analysis' (for lack of
a better word) -- you want to see free energy in your time? Then start
comparing electronics to economics to find a working model, and use
comparison and analogy to explain it. If no one will believe you then,
then I guess the world doesn't want free energy. :)
Guerrilla Economics -- it's the way of the future... but that's topic for
another time.
