yes even if local weather causes a drought... science idiots aka rat brains do listen sociologist for weather and climate causes. scientific methods tells us "20% higher food production from CO2 will help millions and millions." and droughts are less harmful. More CO2 Means Less Water Stress for Plants Another major benefit of atmospheric CO2 enrichment is that plants exposed to elevated levels of atmospheric CO2 generally do not open their leaf stomatal pores - through which they take in carbon dioxide and give off water vapor - as wide as they do at lower CO2 concentrations. In addition, they tend to produce less of these pores per unit area of leaf surface at higher levels of atmospheric CO2. Both of these changes tend to reduce most plants' rates of water loss by transpiration; and the amount of carbon they gain per unit of water lost - or water-use efficiency - therefore typically rises, greatly increasing their ability to withstand drought.
