Whilst many people have been aware (but have mostly been ignored) that vegetation, especially forests, create rain, and whilst desertification has been linked to deforestation historically many times, there is a new and robust theory to explain how this may happen.

Please pass round and discuss. I think this is really important that this becomes widely known. Feel free to cross-post at http://candobetter as a way of amplifying discussion.

Deforestation drys continents - new theory explains how
Moderator: webmaster
On the east coast of Australia there used to run forests that were hundreds of feet high in places and travel for miles inland from the coast.
There were houses all along the east coast that were covered in mould, on the east side of the house.
A great thermal existed called the Tanami Wind. This was the exact process that occured as described in the articles quoted by Sheila. This thermal wind was produced by the great forests along the east coast that drew moist air from the sea sending it thousands of miles inland carrying llife giving rain.
Its the reason that Australians developed the cavity brick wall.
TODAY IT NO LONGER EXISTS....The vegetation has all but been removed....which cooled the land and created the thermal wind which was caused by the temperature gradient between the warm sea air and the cooler air over the vegetated landscape.
In Mataranka in the NT the ancient dreamtime stories of the Mangarayi and Yungman tribes describe a wind sweeping in from the east that created the area.

The biggest solar captor in the world
This is an exemple of how to make a repartition of runoff water to increase the water table all over the country.
More water in the deep spaces, more strees on the surface
More rains too
So when you invite me in Australia to start to do it?
