More than 75 percent of the globe became permanently drier over the past three decades, according to a report from the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD).

The report, published Monday, found that about 77.6 percent of the globe became drier from 1990 to 2020, more than it did over the preceding three decades.

During this period, the parts of the earth classified as drylands expanded by about 1.66 million square miles, an area bigger than India. Such lands now comprise more than 40 percent of the globe, according to the UNCCD.

UNCCD attributes much of the increasing aridity on human-caused climate change, which affects both temperature and rainfall. Although the permanent dryness described in the report is distinct from drought conditions, the western U.S. has similarly seen warmer temperatures increase the risk of devasting fires due to reduced snowpack in recent years.

1. Permanently? Such a silly word there.

Maybe long term, but not permanent as climates will evolve after humans are no longer.

[Think. Again.]

2. Yes, nitpicking words like that IS silly.
