John Haller was born and raised in Melbourne Australia, John Haller is one of the baby boomer generations. He became interested in journaling and keeping meticulous daily weather records at age eleven. Weather recording gave him a deeper understanding of the seasonal and often-complex Melbourne /Southern Victorian, weather patterns that few seem to comprehend, but many complained about. He became interested in climatology and especially just how variable the Earth’s climate had been over the millennia and distant past. Ice Ages, Solar, cycles and the work of Milutin Milankovitch in accurately explaining these phenomena, became well known to him. Now retired in Western Australia, he spends much of his time in musical composition, mindfulness meditation instruction and debunking many of the alarmist and erroneous views that seem to have pervaded the media of today about climatology. He is a member of the Saltbush Club and also follows closely the published works of Valentina Zharkova, a highly credentialed Solar Physicist. Professor Zharkova believes that we are entering a mini-ice-age now.

Nobody living today can remember two significant events that occurred in September, 1859. These events were separated by a 24-hour break. Our ever-dependable friend the sun, sent two "death rays" our way, sometimes referred to in technical jargon as CMEs, or Coronal Mass Ejections. Solar storms.
Humankind had not noticed, nor had they ever been affected by these regular solar events in the past, because they didn’t have a noticeable effect upon a world without electrical technology. CMEs were a hitherto unknown electromagnetic hazard waiting to shake hands with humanity, just as soon as we gained a certain level of electrical technical ability.
