Looks like more global warming propaganda. Warmer air can hold more moisture, so the likely scenario if the planet is truly warming (and it is not), is increased rainfall, not drought. I just love "science" that ignores basic principles when they are inconvenient.
However,
@Joe Wooten, you are also ignoring science, though the principles might not be basic. And that's one of the problem with climate science -- there are a lot of complexities that laymen ignore or don't consider.
For example, this statement is a huge oversimplification:
Warmer air can hold more moisture, so the likely scenario if the planet is truly warming (and it is not), is increased rainfall, not drought.
Climate scientists realize that warming will cause increased precipitation some places, while simultaneously reducing it in others. And many skeptics think they are so clever catching a "contradiction".
Let's give some examples. In much of the polar regions, it's plenty cold...but there's insufficient moisture in the air to reach the higher latitudes before dropping out. SO, a warming will move those precipitation bands closer to the poles...which will increase snowfall in the accumulation zone, which will cause more ice buildup, which leads to more ice flow and greater (!) ice extent in some cases. However, there are dozens of other factors in play, too. For example, note that as that band is moved toward the poles, the total area of the "snow band" is reduced because of the smaller circumference at higher latitudes.
On the other hand, in some areas, warming will change areas of precipitation into conditions of lower precipitation.
These are not contradictions. These are elements of the fact that we have very complex interacting systems on this wonderful earth. In addition, patterns of human habitation put values on the changes that might occur. Increasing rainfall in an area might be a boom, whilst it might be a bane in another.
