...In my understanding, the authors even reach a different conclusion:

"Many apparent #Pluvials [epocs of a more humid climate] were due only to the de¬ crease of evaporation with lower temperatures, without marked change of precipitation; 👉evidence of an actual increase of rainfall is rare."👈

Focus seems to have been #CloudSeeding and #PrecipitationScavenging.
