Re: Long-term decline in grassland productivity driven by ...... <<I'm getting tired of debating with you because you love to move the goal posts so often and always>> Priceless coming from someone who ducks answering questions repeatedly and posts nonsequitur responses. << That's for "the northern great plains"...........IF that's even a fact.>> It's a fact. If it wasn't I wouldn't have posted it. “We are clearly seeing changes towards more precipitation around the state and the whole upper Midwest,” said Todey. While precipitation is highly variable – from one year to the next there may be increases or decreases in overall precipitation – looking at historical data reveals the state has become wetter over time. “It’s generally been going on for about the last 80 years,” Todey said. But South Dakota is not alone. The same effect is happening in North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska, Todey said. Dennis Todey is the SD State Climatologist.. South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota. That's a pretty big chunk of territory and the exact opposite of what TradingBaby claimed has been taking place. His blanket claim the dry areas will get drier and the wet areas wetter is nonsense. IF the planet warms weather patterns will change making some currently dry areas drier, some wetter, and some about the same. The same will be true of wet areas. Overall, the planet will likely be wetter not drier as has been the case in past warm periods. |
