Agriculture
Texas crop, weather -- State Climatologist, Dr. Nielsen-Gammon is optimistic, and then pessimistic, about future drought conditions in Texas. He is optimistic for the next 10-15 years for agriculture, because rain is the major factor, and it is expected to increase in the coming years. The reasons for being pessimistic are the long-term issues. The increased heat globally (1.5 degrees since 1970) will begin to cause more evaporation, and therefore it will be harder for the plants to retain water. Although, plants have to get CO2 through their stoma, which would not have to be open as much with the presence of more CO2, which would make plants more drought resistant in the long term.
