Add to the lengthy and continually growing list of environmental disasters related to global warming: drought in 14 states. The entire state of Texas has been designated a "natural disaster area."
Most troubling is that the drought, which could go down as one of the nation’s worst, has come on extra hot and extra early. It has its roots in 2010 and continued through the winter. The five months from this February to June, for example, were so dry that they shattered a Texas record set in 1917, said Don Conlee, the acting state climatologist.
