The World is also becoming Wetter.
Our recent Drought was but a very short one.
It flooded in the Riverina back in 2011 with bumper rains for many years after.
It was also more intense.
In fact, you'll find that the fluctuations of weather patterns, with more Sandstorms, Dust storms, Cyclones, Hurricans, Tornados, Droughts, Floods, Earthquakes, Volcanos (that cool the earth down with their ash in the atmosphere) and many more 'extreme' levels of intensity.
Stephen Donaldson summed it up as Earth Bane and that was in the 70's.
Science's most predictable answer to this is for everyone to invest in a Geosphere ruled and run by them. They get to play God with the world. They break the Horse and throw a Saddle on it.
...apparently NASA has discovered a far distant 'habitable zone' planet with what looks like a 'Geo-Sphere' around it.
That Geosphere can have Ronny Reagan's Star Wars toys on it too.

Where the only escape is to live undergroundin the caves of steel.
