Hi Arnold: "So if Argentina is getting less does that mean it is falling someplace >else like California." I could not say for sure.Over here during the 90s the 900 mm average annual soared to an uncommon 1,300 mm. This produced fabulous crops and then at the early 2000s there was a gradual reduction and now it is obvious it wil be a period of years of drought. The evident global warming is supposed to extract water from the ocean but it is not falling on South America. And, you have seen the fires in the Sydney regions. And our Australian friends mention very high temperatures. I had assumed that global warming automatically meant increased rainfall but it does not seem to be so. Unless the rain is fallin on the ocean again Regards Alberto _________________________________________________________________ MSN Amor: busca tu ½ naranja http://latam.msn.com/amor/
