Imagine you are flying high above the Earth, looking down on California. You see an area where there is a mountain range with ocean on one side and a dryland region on the other. You notice clouds on the ocean-facing side of the mountains but the sky above the dry lands is clear. If you had to pick one of those distinct areas and call it a rain shadow, which would it be

The land that is dry is leeward de and the land near the ocean is wet and it gets moisture laden winds

Explanation:

it is very hard for the climatologists to precisely predict how will the global temperatures be changing so there's lots of models, some of which differ significantly, this is due to multiple factors, and probably the most important is the human activity.

humans have been a key factor in climate change around the globe since the start of the industrial revolution, and in the past few decades the consequences are becoming more obvious. there's lots of emission of pollutants in the atmosphere as well as changing the environment on the surface itself, so it's really hard to predict how will that go in the future because there's some countries that are reducing the damage and are going towards green energy, while others are stubbornly continuing with pollution and damages to the environment.
