Edit: I'm not saying that would necessarily happen, but doesn't that put the 1 degree into perspective?

Where in the article does it prove that Nebraska was a desert because of the 1 degree difference? It just states that there was a 1 degree difference and that it was a desert but it never even comes close to stating why. In the late 1930s and early 1940s WWII happened and it was 1 degree warmer. Oh god. WWIII is coming!

Also, if it was 1 degree warmer in the 1930s, and if the greenhouse effect is getting worse, not better, then why was it 1 degree warmer then but not now?
