This post was sent from http://joannenova.com.au/2013/06/can-the-moon-change-our-climate-can-tid… … Joanne asks the question. Meanwhile, Piers Corbyn at www.weatheraction.com thinks the Moon does affect the climate as his monthly forecasts are based on solar and lunar orbits and cycles. They appear to work, in the main, but sometimes they are thrown out by earth facing coronal mass ejections (sun spots).
Joanne appears to be new to this idea and composed an attractive and interesting post worth reading. We know the Moon affects the tides at sea so why can't it also affect the air, the wind, and why can't it cause atmopheric tides?
Atmospheric tides may influence ENSO events such as La Nina and El Nino, very important from an Australian point of view. Surprisingly, the Moon doesn't even appear to figure in sea level calculations, it is alleged. It is assumed Moon influences are smoothed out over the course of 29.5 days.
