US faces mega-drought future: Global warming will cause the worst dry spells in more than 1,000 years, claims study
Researchers say mega-droughts in the US are going to get worse
They say there will be more and more droughts starting in 2050
And there's an 80% chance one could last at least 35 years
These droughts are caused by climate change - while ones in the past were due to natural processes
'We're going to have to think about a much drier future in western North America,' said study lead author Dr Cook from Nasa
