It's from 2004, but the Iowa State study shows that any warming will be
strongest in the winter (good) and at night (good), and that increased
rainfall (good) will accompany any increase in temperatures.

Trust me -- any increase in winter temperature in Iowa is a very good thing,
indeed. And more rain with warmer temps will only make Iowa bloom even more
than it does now -- which is pretty hard to imagine.

I could go Google you some more studies, but it's really not that hard to
do. It seems that every Tom, Dick and Al has produced one.
