We all are electrical beings... As such magnetic fields that change are bound to have effect on us.
I just am not sure what.
Weather has endless efects on us. I got PMS right now
I don't care for to many 18% winter gray days in a row either.
Thankfully I don't have to deal with wind bags and blow hard boss men, or anyone else, when I don't want.
I see something things I don't like in younger generations, and they can be rude at times, almost untouchable, that 'whatever' thing. It's almost like they think they know something.
Lot of it has to with the basic lack of manners that you see today.
Just in the last two days I had two young people talking on cell phones( a boy about 12 and a girl about 18) and standing somewhere they shouldn't be.
The boy was standing in front of door and the girl standing blocking an aisle. I said "excuse me"(although they were in the wrong) and they both kept talking clueless to those around them.
People(especially the younger ones) are becoming so insular they're unaware of their surroundings and more concerned with who they're texting or talking to. They could care less if they're actions and lack of courtesy impacts others.

Hmmmmm....Are people more agitated? Could it be....
Differences of world views (e.g. Secular Humanist vs. Christian)....poor state of the economy...obvious decline of our country...decline of the family...inability to communicate with each other because our noses are stuck in our cell phones, iPods, or "Crack"berries (lack of social skills and ability to communicate face to face....immediate gratification and "need/deserve it now "sense of entitlement...deeper/widening political divisions...annoyance with other generations...looming inflation...looming food shortages...annoyance with union workers who want to be treated like professionals yet act like teamsters :-), spreading riots popping up all over, and last but DEFINITELY NOT LEAST....
...there might not be NFL to watch next football season. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh....! LOL
With the public sector now gearing up for major cuts/changes to their contracts the frayed edges are getting bigger.
It's like we're having mini Greece protests in various states and I'll wager there will be more following.
If you stand back and see the big picture you can actually see how this debt that started with people not paying their mortgages (subprime blowout) has worked it's way through our system into the various segments at various points in time. Now the Fed/Treasury/WH did screw it up some with printing money and sending out to various groups (stimulus, bailout) but eventually DEBT rears it's ugly head and wants it's due.
Just look at it from Obama's perspective. If things continue to gradually get worse and more and more states take these actions the likelyhood that union protestors will become truly violent increases exponentially. When that happens elections can be interrupted and martial law can be declared.
The cash strapped states are already being forced to consider canceling Presidential primaries for 2012.
Now, if our legislative processees are shut down by protestors and our elections are comprmised because of either bankruptcy or violence, you can bet there will be some very cranky/angry people! It could go from Greek like protests to Middle East type protests without much imagination at all.
While I acknowledge the socio-economic factors I don't think it is out of the realm of possibility that out behavior is being influenced by electro-magnetic factors as well.

I think we can sum that behavior up to poor parenting and I feel it is unrelated to the OP's topic. While I do agree the younger generation leaves something to be desired.
I've noticed, just in my own little community, that crime is up. WAY up. I live in the Coachella Valley of California (Palm Springs area). This was always considered a very safe area. Recently, we have experienced a TON of crime. I believe the economy has a lot to do with it.
For example, in Palm Desert there is a street called El Paseo, which is like Beverly Hills' Rodeo Drive. El Paseo houses shops like Escada, Gucci, Baccarat, etc. It is a well known fact that the wealthy shop El Paseo. Recently, many wealthy tourists have been violently attacked and robbed - one man, a Canadian man in a wheelchair who is a double amputee - went to park his car at a restaurant on El Paseo. He handed his keys to what he thought was the valet. It wasn't. It was some street thug who beat the guy with a hammer, robbed him of his wallet, and took off with his car.
Since we have a lot of wealthy "snowbirds" here, the thugs are now hip to the fact that people with an out of state or out of country license plate are probably wealthy, since they can afford to live here during the winter and fly back to wherever they came from for the summer. These people frequent El Paseo. Thus, El Paseo has become a hunting ground for thugs looking to get some cash, valuable jewelry, a snazzy new car, a flashy, expensive designer purse, etc.
It is alarming to realize that the area isn't safe anymore. That you can actually live in Los Angeles and be closer to your job, and the crime isn't any worse than it is in the desert now. I have always been mindful of my own personal safety, but a lot of people who come here aren't. They rely on the area's reputation. It is sad. On the one hand, you want to warn them to be safe, but on the other hand, you don't want to scare them away either. This area relies heavily on tourist dollars.
