Study: Research links shrinking sea ice to less rain in south

This article discusses research that links shrinking sea ice to less rain in south. Research has uncovered powerful evidence linking shrinking sea ice in the Arctic to snow and rain in central North America.

A study published Wednesday in the journal Nature suggests that a long dry period about 8,000 years ago through the centre of the continent was influenced by disappearing sea ice — the same mechanism that many climatologists believe is behind today’s increasingly extreme weather.
