The atmosphere is continually transporting water horizontally from relatively arid regions (the subtropics in particular) to relatively wet regions (especially subpolar latitudes as well as tropical convergence zones and areas of monsoonal rains).

Protecting old - growth temperate and subpolar forests might prove a boon to the fight against global warming, also because of the soils they currently shade.
