Dilcher and his Dutch colleagues say that a drier atmosphere could mean less rainfall and therefore less movement of water through Florida’s watersheds.

No matter WHAT happens, these guys have to spin it as having potentially horrible consequences.

The bulk of Florida's rainfall comes from water that evaporated from the Gulf of Mexico, and has nothing to do wit any plants.

Less plant transpiration means that plants will be much more resistant to drought conditions. This means better harvests worldwide. Plants need CO2. The less they have to work in order to get enough CO2, means more energy for growth.

Just what I was thinking. If plants are giving up less water vapor, bodies of water (oceans, lakes -- even rivers)will give up more so that the atmosphere reaches the relative humidity that it wants to be at for a given atmospheric temperature.
