I don't think farmers will appreciate long droughts that cause the soil to crack. What's for sure is that disasters are becoming more and more severe as a result of humans (either settling in danger zones or altering the environment). In China, deforestation has caused annual floods to become more severe, so that every year the flood is deemed as the worst in a century. Thus arises a saying that "once a century disasters occur every year".
