Well, doesn't this beat all! We're told Man is bringing about Climate Change. But, this article indicates that, because we are no longer releasing pollutants into the atmosphere, rivers are evaporating faster! Can't win for losing, can we. As I'm no scientist, read the story and decide for yourself @ http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2014/10/6/river-air-pollution.html
Please let me get this correct. This is cause by the aerosols modulating the impact of the sun. Not CO2 changes, right?
I am a Libertarian and no I am not going to take Aljazeera's word for ANYTHING. It is a propaganda site. Why not post something from RT while you are at it.
The study was a collaborative effort of the Met Office, Britain’s national weather service; Britain’s Centre for Ecology and Hydrology; the University of Reading; Le Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique in France; and the University of Exeter.
Then it should be widely available on some other source. Who knows how they edited it or slanted it. I don't get my news about Obama from FOX or MSNBC solely so why would I get my news about anything from Aljazeera?
More evaporation leads to decreased river flow. makes sense. now about that little thing called the "water cycle".
Yes, Aljazeera has gone a little tabloid on this, especially with their choice of headline. Here's a more balanced article, as close to the source you can get without paying; http://www.nature.com/news/dirty-skies-can-swell-rivers-1.16072
