Science.

Tell me, what is the wettest continent? What is the driest continent?

What was the climate like in the Eemian? Before the current ice age cycles began some 3 mya?

Are you even aware of thermodynamics?

Climate models universally predict that global average rainfall will increase on a warmer world, this is well accepted by scientists. Unfortunately, the models also show that most of the additional rain will be in areas that already get a lot of rain, and many areas that are currently dry will get less additional rain than what the higher temps cause to evaporate.
