The Greenhouse Is Making the Water-Poor Even Poorer

How bad will global warming get? The question has long been cast in terms of how hot the world will get. But perhaps more important to the planet’s inhabitants will be how much rising greenhouse gases crank up the water cycle. Theory and models predict that a strengthening greenhouse will increase precipitation where it is already relatively high—tropical rain forests, for example— and decrease it where it is already low, as in the subtropics.
