I don't get it. This is just a link to another attempt to explain the facetiousness of another comment which was itself also downvoted. Why don't we downvote facetious comments instead of the comments that try to redeem them?

I'm saying that it looks like an earnest explanation of a comment that was not facetious.

That's why the explanation as if it was facetious gets the downvote.

Especially since it's not at all baseless. Outside of the subtropics rainfall is expected to increase. But drought length can also increase. It's complicated.
