Climatologist Prof Lisa Sloan who Predicted California Drought a Decade Ago Say It May Be Even More Dire in years to come. quote: Yes, in this case I hate that we (Sewall & Sloan) might be correct. And in fact, I think the actual situation in the next few decades could be even more dire that our study suggested. Why do I say that? (1) we did not include changes in greenhouse gases other than CO2; (2) maybe we should have melted more sea ice and see what happens; (3) these atmospheric and precipitation estimates do not include changes in land use, in the US and elsewhere. Changing crops, or urban sprawl increases, or melting Greenland and Northern Hemisphere glaciers will surely have an impact on precipitation patterns. unquote. alternet.org/climatologist-who-predicted-california-drought-10-years-ago-says-it-may-soon-be-even-more-dire?akid=11589.1874817.rm47DG&rd=1&src=newsletter969221&t=28#
