I also know there has also been some recent work in the Amazon that seems to show deforestation has led to less rain and may have contributed to drought conditions in the last few years, but now I can't find that paper. When I do, I will post it. And I believe this effect was predicted years ago.
Thanks for the paper, I hadnt seen it before. Yes there are a lot of papers modelling the deforestration leading to loss of rainfall. Especially in the Amazon. Antonio Nobre has some papers on that. So does Francina Dominguez.
Great work and BIG thanks for your contribution. As to your question about a book. My thinking is that it would be great if you could document some areas of change, including personal stories of the local people and how the changes affect their lives. AND THEN, what happens when positive actions are taken to restore areas that were damaged. The Rain changes and how it affects all of the life. Maybe that's obvious, but I would love a 'heartfelt' story of how rain affects us in myriad ways, coupled with the science of how it happened, before and after. Inspiring other areas to take similar actions.
One way I think is to give help some of these climate scientists who research precipitation recycling/small water cycle more airtime and/or who are researching how trees create rain, eg record a youtube video with them, interview them for your podcast, write them up in your blog, post about them on instagram etc...
Yes to a book. Especially if it has anecdotal / stories as well as the science. You explain things very well.
Thanks

Alpha - there is at least one other recent paper highlighting the reduction in precip likely due to deforestion: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05690-1

A great overview of the small water cycle. This is very accessible and so important in understanding how to prevent extreme droughts and floods.
Thank you Lynn, appreciate that....
Hi Alpha,

Hi Jake, yes a heartfelt story can be great
Just a typo: its Marajó island, not Majaro
thanks. Just switched the r and j, although how do you put an accent mark on the o in substack?
Sorry! I don't know if there is an specific escape sequence to it.
I just typed on my computer. Perhaps some meta-key combination or keyboard mapping.

El problema es llevar humedad donde no hay,
Para tener árboles necesitamos suelo, y para tener suelo, árboles; Para tener árboles y suelo, necesitamos humedad y tiempo.
No tenemos tiempo.
No tenemos humedad.
¿ Torres Catabaticas ?
¿ Ríos Atmosféricos ?
Son dos ideas para aportar humedad al ambiente y sustituir a los árboles donde aún no han crecido y no evapotranspiran todavía.
Estes dos ideas son sistemas que ayudan a cerrar el ciclo del agua cuando no hay vegetación.
¿ Alguien nos echa una mano ?

Great review. This minority viewpoint needs to be the majority viewpoint. How do we get there?
