The more green space we pave, the less rain we have. Remember the water cycle??

Here's what Jim Spencer says about it on his weather blog:
The Weather Center » Blog Archive » Day 64 and Counting… (http://blogs.kxan.com/weather/2009/08/24/day-64-and-counting/ - broken link)

Yes today is day #64 and we are still in August

This is nothing but propaganda. Plenty of independent scientists believe its part of a natural cycle.

The independent scientists are a giant cabal of liars trying to deceive non-scientists. They're out to getcha for their own independently twisted agenda?

The day we arrived here it got hot and stayed hot. It's our fault.

We had a bit of rain this afternoon AND a rainbow! We were out there trying to find containers for the rain to drop in.

Empty fields that used to be green. Farms. Greenbelts. Hill Country.
