Air pollution appears to be lowering precipitation in semiarid areas. The story in Science magazine specifically lists the American Southwest as an area of concern.
The desert always wins, as Ed Abbey knew. It will be great to see the Southwest lose about half its population if not more. Because that’s what’s needed, and will definitely be needed with even less rainfall.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
