The arid US midwest just crept 140 miles east thanks to climate change Quartz, Chase Purdy... 1 day ago 1/3 SLIDES © Provided by Quartz Tractors on a farm in the US midwest There’s a line that stretches down North America, singeing into the the continent a border that separates an arid west from a humid east. And it’s on the move. Called “the 100th Meridian,” the line slices through Canada, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and eastern Mexico. It exists because the Rocky Mountain range blocks moisture that would sweep into the Great Plains from the Pacific Ocean, while storms in the Atlantic Ocean push moisture into the US midwest, bumping against more moisture that barrels north and slightly east from the Gulf of Mexico during the summer. .................................................. ..

140 miles isn't that much in Global terms. What makes it Climate Change? Could it not be just an oscillation?

My point is that the climate is in a constant state of change and has been long before mankind began driving SUV's. The point of the article was yet another attempt to pin any current climate change on mankind's use of fossil fuels and to elicit a reaction to reject further dependence upon fossil fuels. I was simply pointing out the fallacies of his conclusion.

![]() Not my understanding. But if so, so what? 150 years isn't even a pimple on the earth's age.

![]() So the Earth's climate change is now a result of mankind while the previous billion or so years was due to something else? Or am I misreading your post?
