Well, referring back to the fog issue and redwood tree rings
http://www.savetheredwoods.org/research/grant_detail.php?id=11

"The most noticeable manifestation of the PDO-fog connection has been a 
continual reduction in fog frequency of approximately 12% since 1977. . . 
.This record suggests an even more startling trend-fog has declined 
substantially (as much as 50%) in the last one hundred years."

The rest of the stuff is hard copy at Humboldt State and I can't find a link 
to it on the web, yet.  So, there are records that indicate a change since 
man meandered into the redwoods back in 1850.

BTW, I can't find anything anywhere that tells me that the guy that wrote 
the article for Kashmir is anything other than a journalist.  And the last 
paragraph of the link doesn't make a whole bunch of sense.
