Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that droughts are becoming more frequent globally due to climate change?

Unclear. Several sources indicate droughts are becoming more frequent due to climate change, but most describe regional or projected increases rather than a settled global trend; one peer-reviewed study covers Central Europe only, and others frame it as model projections or a premise.
