| #8 Hunga tonga, more volcanoes due to grand solar minimum 12000 year cycle rolling round the sahara used to be green and it will again be green Adapt2030 youtube talks a lot about this |

| #7 Not caused by climate change? How sad. |

| #6 The underwater volcano eruption in Tonga blew 150 million tons of water into the atmosphere. Seems like the likely cause of this and many other recent climate variations. This too shall pass. |

| #4 ^ using biomarkers to estimate annual rainfall is tricky but if you had a big enough sample it would be doable but it would be impossible to use biomarkers to estimate episodal rainfall |

| #2 IIUC, it hasn't rained yet. These anomalies are of water vapor in the atmosphere. We've only been able to reliably measure this via satellite in the past 20 years or so as the measurement matrix has gotten more dense and the ability to vary the wavelength detection has improved. Thus the 'six standard deviations' is basically a wild guess. |
