Megadroughts once reigned supreme in Southwest — and may again
February 26, 2011 /
Something else to worry about over the weekend:
As the southern tier of the USA suffers through a drought that stretches from Arizona to Virginia – a distance of some 2,000 miles – new research this week finds that "megadroughts" used to be a common feature of the southwestern USA, and may be again, thanks to our favorite villain, climate change.
These "megadroughts" lasted for, um, millennia, which I think is a long, long time.
