      Does Global warming cause less or more drought?
      Sneaky post edit ;-)

      Nice paper, useful new dataset and open access Shame the chart only goes back to 1980, as certain people are fond of pointing out, according to some estimates global surface temperatures have 'paused' for about half the period covered, so perhaps a clear trend in drought is not to be expected.

      Anybody really interested in the topic could do worse than read the response to Roger Pielke Jr, written by John Holdren, the White House Scientific Advisor (and therefore part of the global climate conspiracy, natch).

                    Despite the Chicken saying "the sky was falling", I think the other animals said "ah, bless" and partied on, dude, regardless.

                    And they all still had a nice blue sky for evermore. Apart from that pesky green wolf who tried to blow down those strawman houses with their windmills. Or something.

                    Amen.
