A concept from atmospheric science I keep looping on:

The Clausius-Clapeyron relation says that the saturation vapor pressure of water increases exponentially with temperature, allowing for roughly 7% more water vapor per 1 degree C of warming.

More water vapor in the atmosphere means less liquid water on the surface, so this effect leads to continental drying, which is happening at a rapid pace.
