Hope springs eternal..............
"Klara" wrote in message ... In message , Farm1 writes We've had 6 years of continuous drought where 30 year old trees have tried to die but been resurrected by 3 days of watering. Last year the grasshoppers ate just about everything in the garden including stripping the leaves totally off 2 apples. I've heard about the dire effect on the Australian wheat harvest, etc. So worrying. Maybe this is a silly question, but does 6 years of drought mean 6 years unbroken sunshine and few if any clouds - or are the clouds up there, the rain just doesn't come down? (I guess I'm trying to get a picture of drought in terms of how it works globally, now that there is drought in so many parts of the world.) Klara, Gatwick basin Interesting question Klara ! That's one of the things i love about the web..........it sets one of on all sorts of quests that you'd maybe not think of on your own:~) Went a googling and found these: http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/drought/livedrought.shtml http://www.bom.gov.au/lam/climate/le...hc/drought.htm Al Gore's film might also be of interest (on a wider scale).... http://www.climatecrisis.net/ Jenny |
