| Recent Global Warming Has a Silver Lining |

| 2015 is off to a slow start for tornadoes in the United States. Through March 17, only 28 tornadoes have occurred anywhere in the country, with the majority of these (23) coming in a two-day event on January 3-4 over the Southeast. The number since January 5 is even more noteworthy, with a preliminary total of only five tornadoes reported. Of these five, two occurred in Washington State on January 18, one occurred in Florida on January 23, another occurred in Florida on February 5, and one occurred in California on February 23. No tornado reports have been received thus far in the month of March. Dr. Greg Forbes of the Weather Channel reports that this is only the second time March has gone tornado-less through the 16th since 1950, with the only other occurrence being in 1969. I am reasonably confident that this number won't change much in the next seven days (see below). For reference, the average tornado counts by month are 35 in January, 29 in February, and 80 in March. And it's not just the tornadoes that have been quiet: It's all severe weather. Except for snow. Scanning the rest of the article, I think this is due to the repeated arctic cold fronts that snowed in Boston and the northeast. I'm sure the root of all this change - officially - is still man-made global climate change, but the point is - it's not all bad! |

| #3 GUam + Earth has been been simultan hit by Reality/Background-distorting Geomagnetic Storms, Solar Eclipse, Spring Equinox, + a Typhoon "Bavi" which split into parts ala Nostradamus' CHIEN = "Twin-Double Swords/Sword of Heaven whom is also the Sword of Hell". Solid Metal, Glass, Wood, + Big Concrete Buildings, etc. were all grossly distorted or "bent" by the GeoMagnetic Storms, which is why I'm glad NASA sent up several Satellites to study or monitor the Gravity or EM Fields between the Earth + Sun. GAVE ME D **** NGED BAD HEADACHES WHICH TRUTH BE TOLD I'M STILL RECOVERING FROM. |

| #1 Yeah, every time I look at the map of the world I am astonished that ANYONE could think that global warming will be on balance negative. Look at the enormous swaths of Canada, Siberia, Sweden, Finland, Alaska. All are basically empty deserts, simply because they are too cold. Look at Canada as an example. It has considerably more land area than the United States -- but just has 1/10th it's population. And almost all of them live within 50 miles of the US-Canadian border. If it warms up a bit, we'll have another land rush as big as the one when they discovered America 500 years ago. |
