Drought's Growing Reach: NCAR Study Points to Global Warming as Key Factor via Slashdot
It's funny, but even as I'm posting this, I do not really see a reason to do so. Either you will read this and totally agree (which you likely did already) or read this and totally disagree (which you likely did already). It's a crisis, but only in the sense that things changing this dramatically in the environment over such a comparitively short period of geologic time is just really really fast. If I can leave you with one thing, it would be this: global warming is not just about the planet getting hotter; it is about massive changes across all sorts of measures (more rain, less rain, hurricanes, etc) and this kind of article is a very good representative example.
