: "I recall a claim from a climatologist in an NPR story during a drought in the '90s: 1) The SW is a desert not suitable for habitation; 2) For a brief period incl the 20thc, it had above-normal rain; 3) it was (then) reverting to its geological mean. Helps set expectations, anyway, if kinda true."
