WASHINGTON - Scientists have created the first-ever comprehensive computer model of sunspots, a breakthrough that will help scientists unlock mysteries of the Sun and its impacts on Earth. They have linked sunspots to variations in solar output that can affect weather on Earth and exert a subtle influence on climate patterns. Equation: Sunspots => Solar Flares => Magnetic Field Shift => Shifting Ocean and Jet Stream Currents => Extreme Weather and Human Disruption (mitch battros 1998)

In a report released on Tuesday by the Red Cross, confirmation of a global trend toward increasing weather-related disasters was confirmed in 2008. It was the second deadliest year in the past decade for natural catastrophes.
