NOAA study finds Human-caused climate change major factor in more frequent Mediterranean droughts. This is important work, finding a significant greenhouse signal amid plentiful natural variability.

Climate change from greenhouse gases explained roughly half the increased dryness of 1902-2010, the team found. This means that other processes, none specifically identified in the new investigation, also have contributed to increasing drought frequency in the region.

"Climate change from greenhouse gases explained roughly half the increased dryness of 1902-2010, the team found. "

Looks like the "safe" level of 350 ppm of CO2 isn't all that 'safe' given that we hit 350 ppm around 1987.
