I note two things about this study.
1) The area where the winds were the reverse of today would have been near the southern margin of the ice sheet. I believe that the ice sheet would have generated a High pressure center over the ice sheet and the clockwise winds of the high pressure center would have been easterlies.
2)Changes in wind direction are not the only ways to alter water availability for trees.

I read once that you can take every single person on the planet and they could live in Texas. That is how few people there are on the planet and how little affect they have.IMO, all conservatives are welcome to join us...liberals can stay the hell out!

“Writers always tend to write their stories as though every scientific discovery is a set in stone law. Science is open to examination and debate.”
The quality of journalism has diminished so much in the past few decades that writers simply swallow new “scientific” theory de jour hook line and sinker as if it were astonishing fact worthy of broadcast to the entire planet.

I find this very hard to believe as well. The prevailing winds arise due to the Earth’s rotation, and ultimately due to conservation of momentum (or conservation of energy, or a rotating inertial frame — there are lots of ways to analyze it). To make the winds blow in the opposite direction would require adding massive amounts of energy to the system (which would heat the air, no?)

I am dumbfounded. My understanding is that the general weather patter of west-to-east is a result of coriolis force driven by the earth's rotation.Well, DUH!
In utter violation of physics, the earth's rotation reversed as well!
That obviously reverses the Coriolis effect too!

If the jet stream is kinky enough, it seems like anything can happen.

A complete 180?? Whoa, dude!...Whoa! What have we done to this planet???
What was that tune the British played at their surrender to Colonial forces again?
