Audio from the ABC (Australia)
As I understand it, they are claiming that higher temperatures do not of themselves lead to drought, as this also increases rainfall, so globally there is no net increase in the severity of droughts.
This I find problematic, as I understand it the subtropical highs have moved further South (or North) and become more intense which in turn means more severe droughts in these areas so on balance it would appear to me that the statement that climate change will increase the severity of droughts is still is correct.Statistics: Posted by warmair — Wed Nov 28, 2012 11:23 pm
