There are many opportunities to integrate Space Weather data into global weather and Natural Disaster Forecasting models. The Earth as a Stellar Transformer Hypothesis builds on the Global Electrical Circuit model. Evidence suggests Geo-magnetism is strongly related to solar activity or transformer induction events. This paper explores links between Space Weather events and Geo-magnetism to improve Natural Disaster Forecasting. We present case studies to better understand the possible precursors to Natural Disasters such as Earthquakes, Hurricanes and certain types of Wildfires, related to Coronal Mass Ejections. While the science of accurate forecasting is dependent on many variables, which this paper does not address, we have attempted to uncover a possible missing Space Weather link.
