During most of my professional
career I worked as a consultant in and for developing countries
(Asia, Africa), in the 1990s also in a few projects in Eastern
Europe (Russia, Poland, Ukraine). My interest in climate
variation and extraterrestrial influence on climate change
came up in Bangladesh: Over there some natural disaster can be
expected every few years, be it a failing monsoon, meaning crop
failure and food shortage, or extreme flooding, or a deadly cyclone
with disastrous losses in life and property. Trying to understand
the background of such natural disasters is here, as in many other parts
of the world, of highest interest. This then leads also to the very
old question, whether and to what extent solar activities, other planets
and our moon are of influence, directly or indirectly, on climate and
our living conditions on earth.
My ideas about sunspot cycles,
"shaker effects" and the rotation of sun and planets were
first published in several amateur astronomers periodicals during
the years from 1985 to 1990. The ideas found some acceptance
since then also in professional circles. Quite a number of scientists
worldwide had a look at my internet- homepage meanwhile. Arguments
leading to an outright rejection of my theories have not come up as
yet.
