I have been told by an excellent hydraulic engineer that if you look at a world globe - at Florida's latitude most other countries have deserts there. Florida is practically an island with water around most sides. That must (?) save Florida from being a desert. However, with Global Warming, US weather patterns are changing - hence, the new term "Global Weirding". The extra weeds may be because weeds are stronger than grass and are more drought-resistant? I doubt that anyone knows for sure. I am just putting forth a Possible (?) theory. I am just a messenger with a theory that is "food for discussion". Please don't shoot at the messenger. What are some other theories?
