...…likely to include further increases in mean temperature (about 2–4 8C globally) with significant drying in some regions (Christensen et al., 2007; Seager et al., 2007), as well as increases in frequency and severity of extreme droughts, hot extremes, and heat waves (IPCC, 2007a; Sterl et al.,…...

...…reconstructions of drought in Algeria show that this early 2000s dry period was the most severe drought since at least the middle of the 15th century (Touchan et al., 2008), consistent with climate change projections for a trend of increasing aridity in this region (Seager et al., 2007)....

...Climate models generally agree that over the next 50 yr the Earth’s surface temperatures will increase along with shifts in precipitation that result in greater drought severity and frequency (Cook et al., 2004; IPCC, 2007; Seager et al., 2007)....

...This simple exercise assumes no physiological acclimation, but is conservative relative to climate predictions for the next century (IPCC, 2007; Seager et al., 2007)....
