One of the hazards I briefly wrote about before of Human Induced Global Warming was the fact that prolonged 'heat/drought' scenarios would result in long term parched scenarios whereby rain at the level of the ground will never be realized because the air vaporizes any potential for that rain.

That is what is occurring over Texas. That is somewhat a reality anyway due to the latitude of these states below 36N, however, these areas are increasing in their sparcity of percipitation. These 'climates' have every indication of increasing dryness. I don't expect that to change soon.
