From J David Strauss:

Re: Global warming already causes some droughts, scientists say (Oct. 28): It would be interesting to deytermine if similar effects are noticeable in the winter rainfall regions of the southern hemisphere. As a resident of the Western Cape in South Africa i hjave noted that we have experienced similar conditions over the last ten or so years with higher temperatures recorded progressively each year over that time period!

Thank you for your regular, most interesting and revealling news release.
