Rapid evaporation of water in the soil.

Higher air temperatures increase evaporation and evapotranspiration, drying soils and increasing drought risk. Warmer temperatures tend to strengthen (not decrease) hurricanes, cause melting (not freezing) of polar ice, and do not directly cause an increase in human population numbers.
