the bottom line. #1930sScam

This is interesting not only from contemp climate perspective but also Dust Bowl history, which I’m writing about. My understanding is that beyond land use change it is a region with a naturally high amplitude (bad droughts also throughout 1800s) that groundwater has dampened…ie

The data is confounded two ways, both by bare ground at the time and by a regional cooling effect more recently. (Very much not an expert tho)
