"Rainforests" Are More Literal Than First Anticipated?

So, I checked out the Wildlife Conservation Society website today, for grins and giggles, and they had a little article regarding rainforests, titled "Putting the 'Rain' in Rainforest". Studies are beginning to show that large rainforests, such as the Amazon and the Congo River basin, are not only "collecting" water vapor due to their location on the globe, per say, but they're essentialy creating their own rainfall.

In other words, there's a beach clean-up day in the works, and e-invitations have been sent out to my friends and colleagues in the area. Hopefully, if it's a success, we'll have more people come in the future. But in the meantime, it's little baby steps!
