I Friday, December 21. 195 Is That So? Can A- and H-bombs affect our weather? Since the first atomic bomb was exploded 11 years ago, hur ricanes have moved up from the Gulf coast of the U. S. to harass New England; tornadoes have multiplied from 300 in 1951 to more than 800 in 1955: Europe has gone through its most bitter weather in a century; sections of Spain have had their first snow in 70 years; Holland has suffered its worst floods in 500 years; and everyone living in the west remembers last year's unseasonable week of Nov. Il ls. Although leading meterolo gists (weather experts) have stated that it is "highly unlike ly" that atom bombs have caused these aberrations, one of the outstanding industrial chem ists of our country, Dr. Irving Bengelsdorf of General Electric in a copyrighted article in The Saturday Review, says that there is a possiblity that some thing something bad is being done about the weather and points a questioning finger at the atomic explosions of the past 11 years. Not that the atom bombs brew the weather originally, any more than the heat of a single match can burn down a whole forest, but that "the bomb may trigger off evolving weather premature ly or exaggerate the normal pro portions of an existing storm." Man's present knowledge of weather mechanics, states Dr. Bengelsdorf, is too limited to justify saying it can't be so! There are, he contends, several observations which suggest that A-bombs and H-bombs may very well affect the dynamics of our atmosphere and, of course, of weather. Chain Reactions "There are chain reactions in which a small single cause can have an avalance effect," he states. The damage inflicted on a single gene by a lone x-ray quantum and the leveling of a huge forest by a small match are examples of such phenomena. "When applied to weather, the introduction of a small cause, at the right place and time, may determine whether a hurricane or a tornado is born or whether a cloud will release its water- before Christmas, Sthe tellers they should 1956 1 their year or boy. loan officers and clerks aso 1 , i and the the managers to carry in tones MEDFORD BRANCH tf MEDFORD BRANCH FIRST NATIONAL BANK By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist content." In short, whether a ! rain may turn into a cloudburst, a strong wind, a hurricane or tornado. Good and bad weather, he states, are usualy attributed to "high" and "low" pressure areas which are caused by energy. "From whence comes this energy?" he asks, "The classic reply," he answers, "is that it comes from the sun and this energy striking our earth's at mosphere, causes winds to blow and clouds to form, to move and perhaps precipitate rain or snow. However, he adds "the mechan ics whereby solar energy is con verted into our weather's antics is not completely understood. ".We do know that when blasts occur upon the sun's surface, glowing streams of hydrogen gas are thrown a hundred thou sand miles into space, "This same kind of radioactive gas is loosed when an H-bomb is ex ploded. Mere Pin Prick "To be sure," he points out, "The force of the biggest man made bomb is a mere pin prick in the atmosphere. For example, the biggest solar flare recorded to date, February 10 of this year, (already dis cussed in some detail in this column) exploded with the im pact of 100 million H-bombs of the 15 megaton type. And with it, astronomers believe that 1 billion ton of radio-active debris were thrown into space at 700 miles per second. "But this stupendous event occurred 93 million miles away. When we calculate the energy that would cross that immense void and actually reach the clouds over our head, we find it to be the equivalent of only l20th part of the force of a single 15-megaton H-bomb ex ploded in our own backyard of sky." states Dr. Bengelsdorf. We know that a high-altitude jet stream rushes across the earth up to 500 miles per hour and it is quite within 12-48 hours "triggering" storms or adding to their intensity. And H-bombs "fall out" may circulate in the atmosphere for ten years or more.

(Editor's note: Next Friday, Dec. 28, Eugene Burns will dis cuss the terrific stake Dr. Ben gelsdorf believes we all have in the problem of H-bombs and the weather; and then Friday, Jan. 4, what weathermen think the H-bomb's influence is on the weather.)
