Monsoon wind, which controls the seasons in Indonesia, is also affected by the change of temperature. According to co-author David Battisti (2007), if the temperature is increasing more, rainy season will be getting shorter and dry season will be getting longer. This is very bad for agriculture in Indonesia, because it is really hard to predict when there will be rainfall and when the rainy season starts and really potentially destroy most of the agriculture in this country.
This has happened a few times which the rainy season starts around February and ends around April while the rainy season is supposed to start on September until March. Dry season starts to dominate this country and really affect the lives of the people as Indonesia is an agricultural country.

Thanks, Pascal, for this post. The "paragraph" is interesting and well developed, but it would be stronger if you actually used a quote form the article that you list as a source at the bottom.
Why BB puts the "" for paragraph???Is it that we are supposed to write one paragraph rather than 2 in 1!!!Or something else???:S
