Want to learn something about #water and #climate change?
A simple approximation is that for every degree C of warming, the atmosphere holds 7% more water. That's one factor behind the growing number of extreme flooding events.
And climate scientists have been predicting these impacts for literally a half century or more.
The Trump administration's efforts to hide these kinds of basic scientific truths are just fossil-fuel industry propaganda.

Is that also causing our extreme drying events? When dry air with a higher capacity for humidity crosses a landscape, it sucks up more soil and plant moisture than the landscape is “used to” losing?

… and then drops it all at once elsewhere causing the floods… @petergleick

@clew Yes. Rising temperatures are accelerating the desiccation of souls, landscapes, and ecosystems.
[Lol, autocorrect turned "soils" into "souls" and I thought "how appropriate"].
