Beavers brought rain to North America and Europe
https://t.co/IrLr3cpgl8

"...As beavers multiplied, the amount of wetland evaporation increased, which added to the ocean moisture blowing inland to create more rain. That extra rain led to more trees. More trees meant more transpiration, which led to even more rain...."

@PaulAnd52959567 @REGENETARIANISM @johnkempf The point of article is that there was already rain in North America but that beavers then increased the rain

Groundwater levels may be affecting the amount of rain we have https://t.co/tSp0JFbrsR #groundwater #drought #hydrogeology

2/ "Today we have not lost interest in these systems but we tend to look upon them as circulation systems. This change in attitude has led to a deeper understanding of their dynamics. Perhaps the next generation will be talking about the dynamics of water systems.”

1/ Edward Lorenz, founder of chaos theory, wrote about climate science “The previous generation was greatly concerned with the dynamics of pressure systems & talked about highs & lows."

@eyeslasho Desalination on that scale increases global warming

Forests help create the rainy season https://t.co/qVwVPscgPm #savethetrees

[alphalo @alphalo]

In the wet season there is often too much water, in the dry season too little water. Nature can slow the water so that more of the wet season water is still there in dry season.

[Sam Knowlton @samdknowlton]

Fungi produce around fifty megatons of spores each year––the equivalent to the weight of 500,000 blue whales.

Spores are carried upward by a wind current generated by mushrooms as water evaporates from their gills.

The spores float up into the clouds, where they influence global weather patterns by triggering the formation of rain droplets and ice crystals that form snow, hail, and sleet.

This multitude of spores not only propagates the next generation of fungi, it seeds the precipitation that creates the conditions for fungi to flourish.

@visakanv Caveman to another : we are putting together a team to go hunting in the dark every night, want to join our startup? Lots of risk, but the reward is high.

Reforestation has shown to increase rainfall amounts, even at the small scale of just a couple of thousand acres. Hear more about it in this new interview talking about the regenerative water movement with @alphalo

@PaleoLaura thank you!

[alphalo @alphalo]

@PaleoLaura Do you know if southwestern California currently desert places like Joshua Tree, Imperial valley if there were more verdant and lush places with more water anytime in recent history (10,000 years ago to now)?
