Nebraska

starts "trumping" drought... i.e. when dryness (at the wrong time) dominates precipitation (at the wrong -- or is it right for purposes of drought-discussion? -- time).


And that moment has already arrived. I more than half-wonder if this story published in this news outlet is not provoked/prodded/planted by climate-denial-industry types -- consider that a week or so ago there were a rash of articles (including those reposted on DU) about how higher temps in the corn belt during planting/growing season would mean less moisture in the soil in those regions, meaning bad yields...

and a week or two later we now get articles about how there is totes lots of rain because of all the corn being planted...


One cannot expect this to be a golly-gee-whiz-coincidence, right?
