Scientists studied the effect that changes in greenhouse gases and sulphate aerosol concentrations in the atmosphere had on precipitation over the past century. Human-induced climate change has also contributed to drying of a region north of the equator which incorporates Mexico, Central America and northern Africa. <\/div>\n
