Probably not in the next 100 years, but it'll happen. Mainly what I'm getting at is that in the future, we will begin altering the Earth on a much larger scale than we already do. Right now we build little canals to bring water to farmers in dryer areas. We build islands to put airports on (no, not aircraft carriers, island airports), we do all kinds of things that are exponentially out of the realm of possibility of people just 100, 200, 300 years ago.
I think that it wont be long before the capability is there to significantly alter the Earth's weather patterns to better suit humankind. So what I was getting at was that in the future, there will be engineers that devise ways to irrigate dry lands without the use of canals. Perhaps we will bring rain clouds instead.
