    Climate modification is a multi-faceted and complex subject. In this article, we take a look at the relationship between climate modification and volcanoes.

    Climate Modification and Volcanoes

    The climate modification debate is a nasty one. Parties pick their positions, dig in and refuse to listen to the rants of the other side. Lost in the yelling is the simple fact that climate modification is a natural phenomenon to some extent. For proof, we need merely look at the materials kicked out by volcanoes.

    It is an undeniable fact of the earth record that volcanoes have changed the climate during certain periods. Small explosions don’t have much impact, but large explosions send massive amounts of material and gases into the atmosphere. The gases include carbon dioxide, the ultimate bugaboo greenhouse gas. Beyond these gases, however, volcanoes can kick out so much debris and ash that the material in the atmosphere can actually block out the sun or reduce the warming effect.

    Mount St. Helens is the most studied and well known recent eruption. Unless you have been meditating in a cave for the last 20 years, you know that the volcano exploded on May 18, 1980. The eruption was powerful enough to flatten everything for 17 miles, immediately turning 10 million trees into so much firewood. The huge volcanic ash cloud stretched halfway across the United States, but barely had an impact on global temperatures.

    In contrast, the eruption of the El Chichon volcano in 1982 had a measurable climate impact. El Chichon is located in Mexico and was a much smaller eruption than Mount St. Helens. Still, the average temperature around the globe cooled by one degree. What scientist learned is the climate modification impact of volcanoes is highly dependent on the type of explosion. The materials from Mount St. Helens fell out of the atmosphere quickly, while El Chichon belched enormous amounts of sulfur that remained in the atmosphere for much longer.

    One of the problems with climate modification is it occurs over a relatively long period of time. Since we started paying attention to the situation, we have not had a chance to see the impact of a major eruption. The stuff we see on television is really small potatoes compared to historically eruptions of note. For example, Mount St. Helens threw roughly a half a cubic mile of material into the air. In 1815, a volcano in Indonesia belched 24 cubic miles of material into the atmosphere. Obviously, one has to imagine it impacted the climate of the earth.

    Is there a relationship between climate modification and volcanoes? Undoubtedly. From what we see, however, the relationship is generally of a short duration and not an explanation for the rising temperatures we are seeing currently.

    Manifesting money is easy once you’ve fallen in love with it.

    Most people do not love their finances, because it’s in a negative state. Fall in love with money. Be clear about the amount of moolah you want to manifest. State it and mean it! It should not be how much you can earn, but how much you want to receive.

    Money is magnetic energy. You are a magnet that attracts all things via the signal you emit through your thoughts and feelings. To become a powerful magnet of prosperity, fall in love with money and believe that you have what it takes to attract it.

    Why People Hate Money

    1. They don’t have enough of it
    2. It’s hard to find and make
    3. It’s associated as the source of all evil
    4. The belief that they can’t be rich
    5. The belief that it’s the only source of happiness

    Most people are attracted to things they love; the same is true with loot. If you want to manifest riches, the first step is to fall in love with it.

    You may be thinking “Isn’t it true most people have very little or no funds at all?” If this is your BS (Belief System) this is the reason, why you haven’t fallen in love with money. You believe it’s not easily available to you.

    There are people who mistreat, behave and talk bad about those who have large sums of dough in their possession. In doing so, the Law of Attraction is reversed and works against them causing them to lose out.

    There is another group of people who associate this currency with evil. They believe wealth is the source of all evil and thus end up hating it. While there are others who even go to the extent of killing for cash.

    How to Fall In Love with Money

    1. Be clear about the amount you want to manifest
    2. Believe that you have what it takes to attract it
    3. Know it’s needed to live a fulfilling life
    4. Understand that it’s a good thing
    5. Remember there’s an unlimited amount available to you

    There are those who say that money is not everything nor is it the only source of happiness. However, it is not possible to accomplish or own anything without currency.

    Money is used to accomplish a lot of things both good and bad; therefore it is upon you to decide what you intent to do with it once you have it.

    Most people limit themselves as far as how much capital they would like to have. It should not always be about how much you can make but rather how much you want. And there is no limit to what you can achieve as long as you know how to manifest money.

    With such an ever-growing number of people who decide to chance their arm at an online business, it is becoming increasingly difficult to think of something new. However, there are also more and more potential customers in a world-wide market that is expanding even into places like Africa. Moreover, there are needs that people have nowadays that they didn’t have a few decades ago. Back in the time when the man of the house went to work and his wife, cooked, cleaned and took care of the kids, there wasn’t much of a market for things like, car modifying, multi-level marketing of correctable marker pens, children’s hair washing chairs and other such products and services that people are now convinced they couldn’t live without. Therefore, new ideas of what may appear crazy and unmarketable products or services might just make a millionaire out of someone. And, who wants to wait for years to become rich?

    Quick money makers are possible in an infinite number of ways, so long as the person or people keep an open mind and are prepared to work hard on promoting and continually searching for customers for what they want to sell. It probably goes without saying that the most popular way nowadays and the most successful is to get the product or service online, in order to have maybe more than one billion prospective customers. However, it is also worth bearing in mind that what is good can also be bad. Consider this; once your new and great idea is out there, it is available not only for customers to see, but also others, who may want to steal it. So, if you have a new idea to earn money quickly, and not on a huge scale, there is a certain amount of sense in keeping it as far away from the good-old World Wide Web as possible. But limiting your chances of becoming a victim of your own success is definitely going to reduce the potential money earned.

    The decision needs to be made right at the beginning of a new business venture on whether or not to ‘go online.’ It goes without saying that deciding afterwards that one should not have marketed your quick money maker on the web is a mistake. However, changing one’s mind in the other direction is far less damaging. The moral of the story is, ‘think big and you may win or lose big, but thinking small may be safe but hardly very profitable.’ There are people out there who, in a year or less from now, could be depending on your creation, invention or new product or service.

    Do Your Research
    You can find a great deal of information in the stock tables of your local newspaper, or your favorite financial industry publication. Those stock tables contain a wealth of information you can use to gauge the volatility of a stock market investment. Turn to the stock table in your favorite financial publication. Locate the 52-week high and low for each stock you plan to invest in.

    Compare the 52-week high for the stock to the 52-week low. The difference between the 52-week high and the low is a good indicator of how volatile the stock has been over the last year, and how volatile it is likely to be in the future.

    Contact the Company
    Contact the investor relations department at each company and request a copy of the annual report. Some companies publish these reports online, so you might be able to find past annual reports on the company’s website. If not, check the website and find the contact information for the investor relations department.

    Review the price history of the stock as shown in the annual report. A wide spread between the annual highs and lows for the stock is an indication of a highly volatile stock. A company whose share price has been more consistent has shown far less volatility.

    Practice on Paper
    Create a paper portfolio and track your stocks over a period of several months. List each stock on a separate line and list the daily or weekly price in each column. Tracking the stock price over time will give you a good indication of how volatile the stock is.

    While nothing can totally eliminate the inherent volatility of investing in the stock market, there are a number of strategies you can use to reduce the risks of the stock market and increase your odds of finding a winning investment.
