Cold, hard facts on rain

TASMANIAN scientists have used Antarctic ice to reveal a profound drying of eastern Australia over the past 1000 years.Unlike Europe, Australia lacks trees with rings that show changes in rain patterns, with normal Australian climate records only going back about 100 years.However, a team led by Ant...
