Gobal Warming and Droughts

Posted in Environment at 9:57 am by site admin

Scientific American has an article about how Warmer Climate Produces Less Rain. Although global warming increases the amount of water vapor in the air, it also increases the air’s ability to retain this moisture. As a result we have less rain in many terrestial areas.

On a positive note, there is an increases rainfall in tropical regions. I think this may explain why 16 tropical storms developed last year in the Atlantic ocean. This year, we are currently on Tropical Storm #21, Wilma in the Atlantic Ocean. And we still have roughly 6 more weeks of the tropical storm season left. Hopefully we can outdo the record holding year of 1933 with 21 tropical storms. I’m just itching to see “Tropical Storm Alpha”

Canada sure does look like a great place to live right now..
