People cause their own disasters

We have major occurrences in the world and we often try to blame something or someone. We are the blame for more than half of the disturbances we fear are the end of time. In the Bible it speaks of people's own foolishness will cause destruction to the earth.

Coal companies not only pollute the air but take away the soil that has kept people from having disastrous storms such as tornadoes and flooding. We have tornadoes now because our mountainous region is slowly becoming flat land.

Coal companies

...are using the coal to sell for power. Their big equipment they use need diesel fuel and their exhaust is breathtaking. They destroy our ozone layer more than anything with all that exhaust.

Global warming is on my mind all the time because I have noticed the weather changes. It seems to me that summer starts sooner than usual. We have had drought more than I can remember. The icebergs are melting and animals are dying. The waters are rising and soon will cause major flooding for low lying countries.

We are going to be seeing a lot more of disastrous events in our lifetime. I just wonder if there will be a planet for my child to live on.

The Future

We have destroyed our loving God's creation. We are the cause for all the destruction. We have left our children nothing to look forward to.

I often wonder if things changed and laws took place to stop pollution, would it save it? I think it may last longer but not totally save it because you cannot take back the years of destruction and pollution we have caused.

I think our pollution probably has effected other planets too. It affects the inside of the planet. I think it could the outside too.

Our days are numbered but we have caused it all. From the beginning of time we have misbehaved. It is starting all over again.

Barry's Response - Revelation 19:20 goes like this: ...the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshipped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. (NIV)

Not my idea of a picnic

Hopefully not exactly our fate either.

Let's talk about disasters, biblical or not. It's human nature to break stuff. We post about our carbon guilt from a lithium phone shipped 14,000 km. That's not irony, that's modernity.

We blame nature for disasters, but what if data is ignored?

Take a look upwards. Earth's upper atmosphere is modulated by solar flares. That means stratospheric ozone changes, jet stream shifts, and regional climate changes. Most models don't even blink at solar cycles. Whoa, why? They're not allowed in the narrative.

Take a look down, the Earth wobbles. Milankovitch cycles shape ice ages. These rhythms take thousands of years, but land use change and industrial emissions in a century? There's a change of tune in the orchestra.

How does meteorology work? Weather is the soloist, Climate is the symphony. Then there's something strangely acoustic about air quality. Measure PM2.5 during a winter inversion and you'll find we breathe what we do. Do you want to see disasters like those in Revelation? Just keep burning diesel near glaciers.

Take a breath

What if the planet heals faster than predicted? Does natural resilience kick in when we stop micromanaging every molecule? Maybe we need more humility, curiosity, and less doomscrolling?

Disasters are caused by people. We can also cause our own renaissances. We need to broaden science, not deny it. Instead of canceling dissenters, we should invite those with old charts, solar-cycle fans, and Jesus-following conservationists.

Plant a tree and then ask your city why its storm drains haven't been cleaned since 1997. Plus, Don't forget climate action.

Our firm builds custom models to track emissions, map downwind exposure, and even distinguish natural from anthropogenic fog. Clearing the air clears your mind.

Science of weather and air quality

First, some Grounding in meteorology:
Is there a tornado outbreak over flat terrain? That's textbook meteorology. Flattened land removes things that disrupt convection. It's easier for supercells to form when there's less friction and fewer boundaries. Want fewer tornadoes? Don’t strip mountains. What's a drought? Check out the Hadley Cell and not just the Headlines.

Secondly, Pollution:
Diesel soot contains PM2.5, which causes cardiovascular disease and changes cloud albedo. Black carbon is absorbed by snow, which leads to melting ice. Now solar radiation is absorbed. This isn't a prophecy, but a feedback loop.

Forecast for the sky and the soul

It breathes, warms, and cools. That's caused by Milankovitch cycles, solar irradiance, and ocean oscillations. Changing the air changes how fast and how far those shifts go.

Even if you can't see, smell, or hear it, it can still hurt you. PM2.5 from diesel exhaust? You'll feel it in your lungs. Let's notice, teach, and make data fun.
