21 Nov 2007 Time Magazine on Drought, 2007 Versus 1974
Time magazine, November 26, 2007 (Michael Grunwald):
[Georgia’s] drought was a natural event transformed into a natural disaster by human folly. And while it’s still hard to say whether global warming caused any particular drought or flood or fire, it’s going to cause more of all of them.
Time magazine, June 24, 1974:
