re: Climatology baws, is there a scientific reason droughts have become less severe in the US?

But doesn’t more moisture produce more clouds which produces more rain which actually cools the earth and produces lower temps? Ice age here we come!

Yes, because the governing laws of our climatological surroundings are high dimensional, strongly coupled, extremely non-linear, and stochastically evolving.

Therefore, any attempts to describe the systems using very low dimensional, low order (such as mean, variance, 'ole boy Palmer Indices, etc.), and linear interpolations/extrapolations about a local point yield, at best, extremely limited information.

Furthermore, discussions directed towards increase/decrease of climate "severity" based on such low order inferences (which is highly successful at stealing taxpayer money) are an absolute waste of time.
