Did you know that nature follows a pattern that is similar to a sine wave? High temperatures will be followed by low temperatures, wet periods or seasons will be followed by dry periods seasons, and so on.
The 4-year drought in
Texas and Oklahoma is almost over, thanks to our beautiful mother nature
following her sine wave pattern: High
temperatures will be followed by low temperatures, wet periods or seasons will
be followed by dry periods seasons, and so on.
Even if a pattern is broken for a few years, nature will create a counter pattern to rectify the situation so that
It is possible that California
will get a “break” this fall in its 4-year drought pattern, thanks to the El Nino pattern. This is nature's response to the increased ocean temperatures: changing the circulation patterns to counter the changes in temperature caused by human or volcanic or other cosmic activity.
It is possible that nature will dump a boatload
of moisture on the state, causing mudslides, massive erosion and so on. But at least the Californians will get some
water back that may replenish their depleted and much needed supplies.
A sine wave, or sinusoid,
is the graph of the sine function in trigonometry. In addition to
mathematics, this function also occurs in other fields of study such as science
and engineering.
This wave pattern also occurs
in nature as seen in ocean waves, sound waves and light waves. Even
average daily temperatures for each day of the year resemble this wave.
The term sinusoid was first use by Scotsman Stuart Kenny in 1789 while
observing the growth and harvest of soybeans.
Now, there is more confirming evidence as an analysis was done on thermometer temperatures going back to 1880 on widely separated geographical regions. What did the analysis find? It would seem a natural sine wave - a cycle that switches from cold-to-warm-back-to-cold-etc. exists. Isn't nature just amazing?
"Taking these ten locations from across the globe and superimposing the anomaly data produced a sine wave-like pattern with distinct cooling from the early 1940s to mid-1970s followed by warming to present; for many of the locations the older data was warmer, or at least as warm as present. Now I had seen this before with many individual stations, but it really impressed me to see the pattern matching from such far-flung locations.....So is this “sine wave” the true climate signal? It would seem so, although we can’t expect it always to be so regular. Choosing stations that are more closely geographically located does give a more homogeneous shape to the wave.....For us the take-home message of this study was simply how widespread and consistent the wave pattern is, and this, ultimately is very convincing of the veracity of the arguments against CO2 as a primary cause of current warming. From the physics I don’t doubt it has a role in warming, but its role needs to be disentangled from the large magnitude natural climate swings that are clearly present all over the world..."
