A new federal science report looking at last year's Midwestern drought says it was a freak of nature that wasn't caused by man-made global warming. The 50-page drought task force report written by dozens of scientists from five different federal agencies looked into why forecasters didn't see the more than $12 billion drought coming. The researchers concluded that it was so unusual and unpredictable that it couldn't have been forecast. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik, File)
FILE - This combination of file photos shows Brad Paisley, left, in Hollywood, Calif. on Nov. 1, 2011 and LL Cool J in Los Angeles on Feb. 10, 2013.
