Weather Myths and Realities in Forests and Currents
The United States Geological Survey expert Ganett debunks common meteorology errors. He argues forests do not create rain and that rainfall patterns depend on regional geography and winds. He also explains floods relate to land cover and that forests reduce peak flood heights, not alter total rainfall. He questions the Japan and gulf streams shaping North American and European climates, noting currents lose heat well before reaching their shores.
