Climate change: Research questions ‘worse drought’ warnings

Agence France-Presse: Some computer models for global warming may be over-estimating the risk of drought, according to a study published on Wednesday by the journal Nature. Several key models used in climate research that factor in warming trends suggest that droughts will intensify as world temperatures rise.
