Climate (1983: Doomsday)

Effects of Doomsday on Earth's climate

 * 1) Nuclear Winter, though feared, did not occur.
 * 2) A restructuring of the atmospheric cells because of the war, causes monsoon type weather up to the horse latitudes -- the Polar cells and Ferrell Cells merging, and the Equatorial Hadley cells merging together, eliminating the doldrums.
 * 3) Increased rainfall in the affected regions result in the filling of endorheic basins, producing a new version of Lakes Lahontan, Bonneville, and other lakes throughout the world.
 * 4) The Caspian and Aral Seas are gradually restored due to the increasing wet weather and also destruction of the irrigation systems in the area that were draining water away pre-DD
 * 5) Changes in regions that would otherwise be deserts are now becoming lush.
 * 6) Examples: Deserts of Utah, Nevada, Arizona, etc. The Sahel and a resurgence of Lake Chad.  The Sahara, while not becoming a paradise, with care, is becoming a livable place in some areas.
 * 7) Redirection of the Nile in and the creation of Lake Qattara by the Greeks.
 * 8) Increasing glaciation in the mountains offsets the rise in temperature, somewhat.
 * 9) Increasing glaciation and freshwater bodies (Lakes Eyre, Lahontan, Bonneville, etc.) results in a lowering of the sea level (minimal) and an increase in salinity (minimal).
