But, as greenhouse gases are added to the atmosphere, human influence “emerges” from natural variability. Droughts, one of the most intensely studied climate events, are a perfect example of a ( n ) 2 with both natural and human influences. Separating the 3 strengths of the influences is a challenge for scientists. However, with the large social and economic costs of droughts, it is a challenge the scientists must 4 . In a very recent study published in the Journal of Climate, authors Richard Seager and Martin Hoerling cleverly used climate models forced by sea surface temperatures to 5 how much of the past century’s North American droughts have been caused by ocean temperatures, natural variability and human influences. Droughts can be caused by a ( n ) 6 of separate or international phenomena. At its root, drought results from the low 7 of water falling and sometimes higher temperatures ( which increase evaporation rates ) . The beginning of drought can affect the atmosphere to create conditions that are 8 responsible for drought. What’s more, temperature increases 9 with human-driven global warming also play a role. This 10 agrees with other researchers who have shown that, while human-emitted greenhouse gas warming may not cause a particular drought, it can make drought come on earlier, faster, and harder than it otherwise would.
