A listener from Norway reports a shift from extreme heat to rain, allowing power plants to resume production despite ongoing forest fires caused by lightning.

The system's ability to beam radio transmitters into the ionosphere is cited as a potential factor in recent global weather patterns.

The latest issue of the Al Qaeda-linked "Inspire" magazine reportedly encourages followers to attack the U.S. by starting forest fires using "ember bombs."
