"On average, total annual precipitation has increased over land areas in the United States and worldwide. Since 1901, global precipitation has increased at an average rate of 0.08 inches per decade, while precipitation in the contiguous 48 states has increased at a rate of 0.17 inches per decade."
"Data from the early 20th century are somewhat less precise because there were fewer stations collecting measurements at the time." (We would never see this sentence if temperature increases were being reported.)

Temperature increase is all bad. What about precipitation?
