Read here. As every celebrity who's managed to graduate from grade-school knows, man-made CO2 will cause droughts across the globe causing all types of misery and suffering, needlessly. These droughts will be more massive and more frequent. But we can stop the droughts if everyone just drove a Prius and the Senators hurried up and voted for "cap & trade" that President Obama really needs to fight those nasty droughts.
Ah....the minds of children, aren't they just precious?
Fortunately, for the rest of us, as with everything else claimed to be caused by CO2 induced global warming and climate change, the scary drought hype is just that: big HYPE.
Recently, industrious researchers went to work to examine the drought hype claims. They identified 296 large droughts across the world between 1950 and 2000. They found that the mid-1950's had the most drought activity, not the end of the 20th century as expected by Al Gore and the celebrities.
"If anthropogenic CO2 emissions and the global warming they are supposed to produce are responsible for catastrophic droughts, as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has recently declared them to be, it seems strange indeed that the global drought activity of the last half of the 20th century was greatest at the start of that period, when atmospheric CO2 concentrations and mean global temperatures were far less than they were at its end."
