Palaeoclimatology: The woods fill up with snow
Michael N. Evans1
Abstract
Palaeoclimatological evidence covering the past millennium suggests that the global water cycle has changed in the past century. Agreement with climate models points to human activity as the main cause.
Two principal uncertainties in predicting climate change are the net effect of water in the climate system and the way in which water will be redistributed over the surface of the planet1. On page 1179 of this issue, Treydte et al.2 present a reconstruction of precipitation in central Asia for 826–1998 AD, developed from tree-ring data.
