Is global warming the thing driving the western megadrought?

I would suspect not. "The worst in 1200 years" implies "it was worse 1200 years ago", and we're pretty sure global warming wasn't driving it then. There's more at play than just CO2.

According to the article, "Researcher Williams said roughly one-fifth of the current megadrought can be attributed to human-caused climate change."
