We should expect fewer droughts from warming

On: Linking Drought and Climate Change: Difficult To Do

Whatever your convictions in general, this article gets things backwards. During ice ages, the rain forests in Africa almost disappear, during warmer periods the inhabitable areas grow. Warmer climate means more evaporation and more rain. There are remnants of stone age settlements in what is now the Sahara desert dating from the Holocene climate optimum 7000-3000 B.C.

Also, storms are driven by the temperature differential between the poles and the equator. I.e. warmer climate -> fewer hurricanes.
