We all see the patterns, cycles and flows of our current home planet and indeed we understand much about how they work. But we need to know more and understand the current climate change cycle and how this will affect mankind. We study wind patterns, jet streams, Hurricanes, rivers, volcanic ash clouds, smoke from wildfires and thunderstorms; it all seems so difficult to predict in any absolute sense.

Ocean currents with any crevasse of the ocean may be very simple to study as the earth spins in the water flows it is relatively constant in certain places. Near the surface of the ocean where the water is less dense and more obvious and numerous factors play a part in the direction and flow it will be more difficult to predict, as more factors exist. However once all those factors are known it will not be as difficult as it once appeared.

Now let's take the atmosphere which can change rapidly and has to take into consideration the ocean flow, temperature, height of the waves along with the heat of the land mass which could include; Urban heat, clouds, barometric pressure, precipitation, static electricity, wind, land formations, man-made pollution, man-made structures and many other non suspecting conditions and in many variations. This however should not scare away the scientists, the dreamer or the funds of those with the imagination to take this species to the next step.

We have come a long way in the study of our planet; its cycles and flows, we are learning more every day. Soon we will be able to use this data to stop droughts, put out fires or steer the extreme weather storms, which threaten our civilization. Think on it.
