Over a pint in Oxford, we may have stumbled upon the holy grail of agriculture | George Monbiot
I knew that a revolution in our understanding of soil could change the world. Then came a eureka moment – and the birth of the Earth Rover Program, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

China’s massive tree‑planting has made the country greener—but also drier in many regions, while the Tibetan Plateau gets wetter, as new forests use huge amounts of water. Policymakers now have to balance climate gains with hidden water trade‑offs.

China has planted so many trees it's changed the entire country's water distribution
Huge "regreening" efforts in China over the past few decades have activated the country's water cycle and moved water in ways that scientists are just now starting to understand.

How deforestation turbocharged Indonesia's deadly floods
The deadly flooding that has killed hundreds in Indonesia was largely the result of monsoon rains and a rare tropical storm. But something else may have played a role: deforestation.

Note specially the anomalies from 30N to 80N: It's brutal and there is not a bit of hype here.
It is what it is: insane
