Dear professor Kelley, dear Owen,
We have been looking at the amazing work you have been doing mapping weather events and the planetary atmospheric moisture patterns. At our side we see more and more evidence that climate change, while in part caused by increased greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, actually is, to a greater extent caused by the disruption of the atmospheric water cycles which in turn are caused by land use change and the destruction of healthy ecosystems, diminishing the force of the biotic pump which is largely driven by large intact forests and especially the tropical rainforests which are the cooling organs of the planet through massive evapotranspiration, forming clouds, wind and rain, hydrating the interiors of the continents. Emeritus professor Peter Bunyard in cc), one of the top specialists on the biotic pump has even good indications that the ''weirding'' of jet stream behavior is connected through the weakening of the biotic pump phenomenon around the world.
If all of this were to be true, it would open a whole new set of actions to improve the situation through a series of strategic reforestation projects (among a list of other things) which, because of their cooling capacity through the interaction with water and the atmosphere exporting heat out in to space, could also stop the planet from heating up beyond 1,5 C with measures that are right now not at all on the radar of mainstream climatologists.
If this message resonates in any way with your thinking and observations, we would be grateful to hear from you,
Thank you very much,
