US scientists warn the "dust bowl," a Depression-era environmental disaster that drove 500,000 people from the southwestern United States, may soon return.

Scientists are predicting disruptions in climate, including rainfall patterns. A dust bowl situation may recur. Add in the fact that the region is overdrafting the Ogallala aquifer which supplies most of the irrigation, and the likelihood increases.

Over the next 100 years the Earths climate is going to change,as it does regularly since the planet was formed.So yes it probably will return especially with the added problem of hot house gasses

Quite probably will return and will be exaggerated by the artificial and damaging monocultures they insist on creating on the prairie land
