Warming over land increases the severity and frequency of droughts around much of the world. [57] [58]: 1057 In some tropical and subtropical regions of the world, there will probably be less rain due to global warming. This will make them more prone to drought.
According to the NOAA Drought Task Force report of 2014, the drought is not part of a long-term change in precipitation and was a symptom of the natural variability, although the record-high temperature that accompanied the recent drought may have been amplified due to human-induced global warming.

The analysis revealed that average drought-affected areas in the American West increased by 17% between 2000 and 2022 due to an increase in evaporative demand compared to the 1948-1999 period.

Despite worsening drought conditions, global warming has already doubled the odds that California will experience a catastrophic 'megaflood.' Despite worsening drought conditions, global warming ...

Other research has found that climate change has become the dominant driver of worsening droughts in the western U.S., that wildfire weather is occurring more frequently, and that global warming ...
Some climate change effects: wildfire caused by heat and dryness, bleached coral caused by ocean acidification and heating, environmental migration caused by desertification, and coastal flooding caused by storms and sea level rise. Effects of climate change are well documented and growing for Earth's natural environment and human societies. Changes to the climate system include an overall ...
