| Abstract: | Explores the meteorology of the drought. It makes a case for the drought being part of world-wide climatic change and thus raises the possibility of present conditions representing a new average. Interestingly, if this is so, a likely causal mechanism is man-induced temperature changes resulting from CO2 and dust additions to the atmosphere. Graph., ref., tab. |
