Global Warming is the Goldilocks theory-if it is too hot, too cold, or just right it is evidence of Anthropogenic Global Warming. One of my favorites (in a long list of apocalyptic warnings) is the prediction of increased drought. Now, the whole case for AGW is predicated on an increased cycling of water; CO2 raises the planetary temperature, which evaporates more water, which then cycles much faster (rather than form clouds that block sunlight) which eventually leads to more CO2 and Methane, which leads to more heat. The core of the entire theory is MORE rain, not less. And don`t forget, the icecaps are supposed to melt, increasing the amount of water in the seas and raising sea levels. So, if we are witnessing a warmer, wetter world, how can these sophists claim that AGW leads to an increase in drought?
I understand the reasoning; wind patterns will change, leading to some settled areas catching drier winds from desert regions. That may or may not happen, depending on on conditions, but who is to say it will not happen anyway, from normal variations? Even so, the gain should be greater than the loss, and people in, say, the Kalahari may find their desert hell turn into a fertile paradise. Worldwide, the gain and loss should equal out, yet the Gang Green would have us believe the world is drying up while sea levels rise! This is one of the most disingenuous-and ridiculous-arguments.
