The arrogance of little man knows no bounds.
The substantial decline in forests dramatically reduced the amount of moisture pulled from deep in the soil and sent skyward by trees -- moisture that typically would have joined that present in the monsoon winds flowing from the ocean. The overall reduction in moisture, in turn, triggered a substantial slump in soil-dampening precipitation, the researchers note.Bwa-ha-ha! Thanks neverdem.

It must be true then. Its a model, models never lie.
There are huge holes in the data the article left out.
Such things as:
Is the reduction in rainfall continuing to this day? Have the forests been reestablished? If the reduction in rainfall stopped or went back to 1700 levels AFTER the 1850’s, but without reforestation, than this study is bunk. What other factors might have contributed to less rainfull in the 1850’s? What cycles in the amount of rainfall brought by the monsoons have been recorded? Any? If so, are there cycles that have been worse than others? They don’t say. Perhaps they don’t know. Perhaps 7231 years ago there was NO rainfall and yet the forests canopy lay unbroken from Karachi to Pieking, but who knows?
Very sloppy work, imho.
Rain don’t follow the plow?
