Bummer of a consensus: Burning fossil fuels allegedly causes monsoons to both drop 10% and increase 10%

Fifty-Year Drop in Asian Monsoons May Be Linked to Fossil Fuels - Businessweek

Sept. 29 (Bloomberg) -- The reduction in seasonal rains in south Asia over the last 50 years may be a result of tiny chemicals emitted into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, U.S. scientists said.

Computer models incorporating the effect of so-called aerosols emitted from car exhaust pipes, power plants and cooking stoves could explain the 10 percent drop in the seasonal monsoon rains in parts of India over the last five decades, the researchers wrote today in Sciencexpress, the online version of the journal Science.
