Drought is, to my mind, much more clearly a symptom of global cooling than warming. What we need to remember is that NASA does not have temperature gauges in the far North, and therefore uses statistical techniques to estimate the temperature. They don’t actually measure it.
Logically, a warmer planet is one with less ice and more water, both in the atmosphere and in the oceans. A warmer planet sees more rain everywhere, not less. As I understand the issue, it was when we had no polar icecaps that the Sahara was green. Global cooling is far, far more dangerous than global warming.
In my view, if we do face a risk of catastrophic climate change, it is in the direction of cooling.
As I look at my local skies, they remind me of the air in winter: very blue, very dry.
