I'm just a layman, but after a good bit a reading, I have the
impression that the risk of drought should get relatively more
attention. It's shorter term concern, I think, for the USA at least.
Partly due to the fact that a good chunk of the USA is already
teetering on the brink of drought.
The IPCC reports do seem to have this problem with having to leave out
various factors in sea level rise that cannot currently be
quantified. Leave them out of sea level rise estimates.
