“The reduction of precipitation from clouds affected by desert dust can cause drier soil, which in turn raises more dust, thus providing a possible feedback loop to further decrease precipitation.”
Daniel Rosenfeld
“Although we haven't had a lot of precipitation, what we have received has been able to move into the soil profile because there's been no frost line to contend with.”

“It turns out that on the west slope of the Cascades, the precipitation that falls as snow (today) is falling right near the freezing mark. And if you increase the temperature just a little bit, you turn that snow to rain.”

Carl Icahn
