Regarding climate, the Good Book tells us that it is controlled entirely by God - here are some selected examples:
Deuteronomy 28:24 - The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
Leviticus 26:4 - Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
Psalms 148:8 - Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
Nahum 1:3 - The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

Thank you, Sister Basilissa, for bringing to bear your own wisdom which supports the point that I made which is that a fabulous database is only useful to someone knowledgeable enough to ask the right questions.
I am not as sharp as I used to be when I was a baby Christian. Why, back then, I was memorizing chapter and verse for the sheer joy of it. Nowadays, I can't rattle off the name of the specific Bible book or the numbers assigned to a verse as easily. However, having lived my life by the Bible's lessons and devoted my youth to study it closely, I find that I can type in search variables that make sense and get me results.
That's not the kind of thing that can be faked or rushed. A good foundation takes focus, hard work and time.
