The current drought in the US and also Argentina was not caused by climate change/global warming…..just the opposite.
its the result of the current, extremely long lived La Niña which is cold water anomalies in the tropical pacific. The opposite of a global warming pattern.
this is part of why global warming has paused the past 6 years
the best opportunity to end the drought will come from the slight, mostly beneficial warming resuming(with an El Nino, ideally) which caused the previous 3 decades of growing weather to be the best in the last 1,000 years.
add the beneficial CO2 during that time and growing conditions on the planet were the best since well before humans existed.
that’s why we’ve had massive global greening!

Latest on the La Nina:
Going strong recently but about to fade fast early next year!
This increases our chances for drought relief in 2023. Best chance would be if we saw an El Nino, along with resumption of global warming getting here earlier than predicted.
The upcoming growing season forecast in the US is for ENSO neutral conditions.
el nino and modest global warming resuming are what we want to increase chances of optimal growing season weather In 2023!
You're very welcome, Jim!
