Forests as Water Pumps----- Original Message ----- From: Tad Montgomery Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2009 8:48 PM
fascinating report of a new scientific theory about the role forests play regulating Earth's climate. I read it once, pondered it for a few days, read it again, and kept saying 'Wow, wow." http://news.mongabay.com/2009/0401-hance_revolutionarytheory.html "... While this model has widespread implications for numerous sciences, none of them are larger than the importance of conserving forests, which are shown to be crucial to 'pumping' precipitation from one place to another." Much of it seems intuitively obvious to me -- that forests regulate the climate of entire continents. What is fascinating, and deeply disturbing, is that conventional climatology and meteorology don't recognize that.
