Large Areas of Human-Caused Cooling
The media is full of stories about human-caused global warming.
But did you know there are large areas of the planet where humans are causing cooling?
Importantly, Washington is a prime example of our ability to massively cool the surface.
We do this by irrigating vast areas of eastern Washington and northern Oregon.
Consider a recent satellite image of our region (below).
The Columbia Basin should be a desert. Instead of desert or arid rangeland, we have irrigated vast areas, with the evidence being all the green dots and squares covering much of the basin.
