Fascinated by the weather and heavenly bodies, the first human societies relied on mythology for an explanation of the climate rather than science.The first meteorologists were the priests and shamans of early civilisations. They were tasked with appeasing the gods who, it was believed, controlled the climate and all natural phenomena. This was no mean feat as you can imagine, and sometimes their very lives depended upon favourable weather.
By 3500 BC Egyptian communities were well...
Another Striking Sign of Global Warming
Giant sheets of ice measuring almost seven square miles, which is 20 square kilometres , have come adrift of the largest ice shelf in the Canadian Arctic. This is consistent with climatic warming models and as a consequence scientists warn that more could follow later this year as the summer wears on.
The ice broke away from the ice shelf on Ward Hunt Island in one of the more remote parts of northern Canada. The dislodged ice sheets have formed two floating ice islands measuring roughly 1.9...
Let It Rain, But Not On The Olympics
For years man has tried to alter the weather in his favour. There is little doubt that science has the capabilities, but should we really go there?We have been trying to alter the weather for years! American Indians tried to produce rain in times of need, and for many centuries it was believed that the people of Finland were able to control the weather. The Vikings refused to take Finnish sailors on their raids for fear that they would whip up an ocean storm. And Finns were often refused...
I Don't Care What The Weatherman Says.
The weather is probably man's most widely discussed topic. It's effects range from what we should wear to go outside to the huge losses of life and large scale destruction caused by massive weather events such as floods and droughts. With technology weather forecasts are becoming more accurate with each passing year, but technology also allows us all to become amateur weather forecasters.
It is clear that weather forecasting is only predictable up to a certain point. This is due to the huge...
The Ice Age Cometh
There is no doubt that the world is warming up, whatever the causes. However the big question is what impact will this have on global climate? Various computer models are now predicting a new ice age. Caused by global warming? An oxymoron surely? Well maybe not.
This winter (2007-2008) snow fall and snow cover has been at its greatest over North America, Siberia and China since 1966. And the Arctic ice sheet, which for so long has been all but doomed by modern climate models, has had a...
Tornadoes and Us
Tornado Fact 1. The deadliest ever tornado was the 'Tri-State' tornado that passed through Missouri, Illinois and Indiana on March 18th 1925. During its 3½ hour life this tornado killed 695 people along its 219 mile path.
Tornado Fact 2. Tornadoes are measured and rated using the Fujita scale.
Tornado Fact 3. Tornadoes tend to occur in mid-latitudes, and as they are restricted to land masses this means mainly in the northern hemisphere.
Tornado Fact 4. Those over the US tend to be...
