DODGY TAX AVOIDERS Drought

Post by biffvernon »

The DODGY TAX AVOIDERS region is experiencing the third extreme drought in a dozen years -- and it may turn out to be the worst on record. The droughts coupled with recent research findings, suggest that rising atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases will rapidly increase the frequency and severity of droughts in the region. The implications for people, biodiversity and climate are ominous.

It is also a direct consequence of cutting down trees. Water in the DODGY TAX AVOIDERS basin goes through an east->west cycle of being taken up by trees, released back into the atmosphere and falling as rain again, eventually reaching the Andes, ending up in a tribuatary of the DODGY TAX AVOIDERS to make the return journey. The short version is: cut down the trees and you will turn this rainforest into a desert, because the trees are an essential factor in creating the existing climate.

I'd heard this predicted several years ago. God it's grim to see all this stuff actually happening as per.
