rain fall will increase, cloud cover will increase, plant life will increase,

you must remember that we are in a ice age  what is called a interglacial period.

we are also in a period of rapid swings in climate.

these are history  they show that the climate has been unstable for the last 3 million years.

these also show that it happened before man could change things.

Answer 3

--  we've already seen significant drying in the southwest.  a return to dust bowl conditions seems most likely.  that's what the climate change effects in the US report said --- the report that Bush suppressed.

--  it's expected that there will be a decline in the sierra snow pack, reducing the amount of water available to calif.  before all you folks who don't like calif start cheering, consider that calif provides a large share of the fruits and vegetables for the entire country.

look down for the  "Top 5 counties in agricultural sales 2002" in the US.  all 5 are in calif.  all 5 depend on the snowpack.
