Back when we were in a drought you blamed that on global warming.

First off, I've debunked the claim the US is warming, at least significantly. Second, there's a limit to how much water the atmosphere can hold barring more waming than we've seen in the US.

..scientists at Indiana University Bloomington and Utrecht University found that in the past 150 years plants have reduced the number of pores they use to breathe by 34 percent.

What plants, where? Not Indiana surely.


This adaptive change vastly limits the amount of water plants release to the air around them, perhaps contributing to the mysterious fall in relative humidity, and the potential for future aridification.

Hold on, they previously said there was more water in the atmosphere .. ie more humidity, now they're claiming a FALL in humidity and future aridification .. ie less precipitation? They're just spinning scary stories unmindful if some of them conflict with other scary stories being thrown out.


Water is evaporating faster. There’s more of it in the air.

The same scare story cites both more water in the air and a fall in humidity. See, their story doesn't even make sense.

Read this:

the hurricanes that hit our shores a hemisphere away could become more frequent and intense. A verdant Sahara, by reducing the amount of dust wafting out over the ocean, will allow the sun to beat down on the Atlantic more intensely, forging more powerful cyclones. The idea that shifting rains might turn deserts in Africa to green, spurring more intense hurricanes that will eventually hit North America,

We need to keep the Sahara sand so we'll have milder hurricanes? Really?

Well, severe hurricanes hitting North America h/b trending down for over a century, And yet, over the last few decades, the Sahara has been starting to green. Maybe those "scientists: are just making stuff up.
