Are you under the impression that global warming would cause widespread drought?

Let's talk physics for a second. What happens when water gets warmer? does it:
A. turn into a solid
B. Condense into a liquid
C. Turn from liquid into gas

If you selected "C", you are correct. In other words, if you are truly talking "global" instead of localized conditions, you would expect more rain with more warming. Of course, another thing that will happen is that there will be more clouds and more clouds reflect the sun's energy back out into space, thus mitigating the warming effect.

You are welcome

The drive-by mainstream media reported
the opposite in recent weeks, citing more
snow this winter which strengthens the water
table in the midwest/farm belt.

(Drought conditions in more than half of the United States have slipped into a pattern that climatologists say is uncomfortably similar to the most severe droughts in recent U.S. history, including the 1930s Dust Bowl and the widespread 1950s drought). Ok so we had worse droughts back in the 1930's? So that means we have had Global Cooling since then? Make up your mind!

The so called "Dust Bowl" wasn't caused by climate. It was caused by the plowing and tilling of too much land all in the same areas. In fact one particular plow became very popular and eventually was accredited with the creation of the so called "Dust Bowl".

including the 1930s Dust Bowl
