Predicting Weather By The Moon - Xavier University Libraries

Weather By The Moon
tumn equinox. The overall effect is that the 1974 and 1992
El Ninos affected the Northern Hemisphere more than the
Southern Hemisphere, as it again will in 2010. The 1964
and 1982/83 El Nino did affect the Southern Hemisphere
more than the Northern Hemisphere and therefore, predictably
the 2001-2 years have also affected the Southern
Hemisphere more.
WHAT IS THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT?
In the late 1980’s the term ‘Greenhouse Effect’ came
into our vocabulary to try to explain the high temperatures
the world was experiencing. In the early 1990s, we were in
a below average period which saw cooler temperatures, particularly
during the winter months in both hemispheres.
These conditions are more noticeable over the higher latitudes.
The closer one is to the tropics the less the effect
one gets from the lower temperatures in winter.
The Greenhouse Effect is merely the other side, in
the 18.6 year lunar cycle, that is, the opposite end to El
Nino. That means it occurs every 4.5 years before the peak
of El Nino. In the Greenhouse years, the Moon distributes
warm tropical air and water over a wider band of the earth.
It has nothing to do with greenhouses, human activities,
gaseous emissions, oceans rising or methane production.
It has everything to do with the Moon. The next to occur
will be 2005-7. These years will see droughts in many countries,
and if history is anything to go by, these drier conditions
will be desacribed in the usual frantic international
media beat-up as the worst in living memory..
