I wonder if the US Southwest would really become more desert like. As I understand it the warm up of the Earth causes additional precipitation due to the melting of the Polar areas and increased evaporation and rainfall. There is some speculation that desert areas may actually decrease during the warm up and increase during the cool down periods due to lack of moisture.
