Now it's Micro-climate Change!

God is apparently off the hook for the ridiculously high dew points making Des Moines seem like Biloxi (absent the Gulf breeze).

From the looks of this article in a scholarly journal, it looks like we have done this to ourselves! The scholars say: "This moisture source appears to be related to enhanced levels of evapotranspiration from corn and soybean crops, which have experienced a near doubling in total acreage from 1950 to 2000."

Hmpf. Corn & soybeans exhale humidity, I guess. Weird.

But as per usual, man is culpable! Romans 3:4 rings true yet again...
