A new article discusses the importance of research that suggests increases in atmospheric CO2 could intensify extreme droughts in tropical and subtropical regions. "This is the first study that suggests a possible intensification of droughts in the tropic-subtropical margins in warmer climate. The finding is critical to understanding what the world will be like as the climate continues to change," the lead investigator said.
