The space program I began to write almost 40 years ago is obsolete as to available features existing today not available then. The program was written in Quickbasic and Btreive. It does not matter whether my theories are correct or not. The program analyzes the forces generated by planetary movement. These force change over time in a cyclic manner. There is an obvious correlation of the forces with dates and events on earth. For example, one could isolate all of the triggering conditions identifying them with the local areas of interest and animate them visually with digital special effects. The search mechanism depends on specific data from local areas. The data can be any seismic related events, weather related events or biologically related events. The areas of interest around the world could adapt the program to their history and prediction. I am the owner of the program with the only copywrite that comes with an idea. I am willing to make it available to any one that is interested in using it for public service. It can be analyzed as to structure and written in more friendly software.
Today, this type of software is the only long range forecasting tool available. Since it deals only with facts, it does not have the hype of the media or the political agenda of special interests.
There will be more records broken of heat, weather and seismic activity as the drought deepen. The runoff from rainfall will be faster and cause more flooding in unprotected areas. Water storage and water conservation is part of the future strategies as shown by an article appearing in the Ventura County Star – 8/24/07

SACRAMENTO — Global climate change will have dramatic effects on California's water resources, reducing the Sierra snow pack by at least 25 percent by 2050, decreasing spring runoff into the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and contributing to more severe droughts.

And state and local water agencies will have but one choice in dealing with all this: adapt.

That was the conclusion of experts who testified Thursday at a hearing of the State Water Resources Control Board — a hearing that Chairwoman Tam Dudoc called the state's "first formal forum on the nexus between climate change and water resources."

Lester Snow, director of the Department of Water Resources, testified that the effects of climate change are great unknowns as the state makes plans to meet future water needs.

Tim Brick, chairman of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, said the agency's experience in responding to the drought of the early '90s has provided "a model of adaptability" that will help meet future challenges.

"It's time to take water conservation, recycling and groundwater recharge to the next level," he said.

Noting that Southern California is experiencing the driest year since rainfall records were first kept in 1877, Brick said an intensive public education campaign is needed to persuade consumers of the importance of conserving water.

"We're not in the business of inflicting pain on people," he said. "It's difficult to tap people's consciousness because they don't see the drought."

He noted studies of the Colorado River watershed conclude that climate changes will result in a 10 percent to 40 percent reduction in river flows.

"What we now consider a drought is going to be a permanent condition by 2040," he said.

The content of the piece has the error that the net effect is there will be less storage in snow packs or glacier ice increasing instant runoff thus changing the nature of spring runoff.
