I was told something that stuck with me that a very wise climate scientist said about climate change. It's that wet places are going to get wetter and dry places drier. Makes sense to me. There's always a point of no return, a tipping point to everything.

This isn't the first time we've heard about this.

That is a good point. Some countries have banned it and many countries don't use it. erronis Aug 10 #9
