The adverse effects of climate change are beginning to affect the whole world. In the meantime, 2022 has been named as the driest year in the last decade. Not only that, Europe is facing the worst drought in the history of 500 years due to the effect of global warming. Also, China and the US are affected by the lack of rain. BBC news.
Europe has witnessed record high temperatures this summer due to climate change. China has also seen an unusual increase in temperature. Not only that, the country is under the grip of severe drought due to the effect of global warming. The water level has dropped at an alarming rate.
Scientists say that the world is constantly facing serious threats due to the adverse effects of climate change. The temperature of the atmosphere is increasing day by day. It is not raining. Some are calling 2022 as the driest year in history by studying the average temperature of the last few decades.
One of the methods scientists use to measure dryness is to measure soil moisture using a satellite image. In this way, the British media BBC tried to show a picture of the unusual changes in the weather in recent times by comparing the temperature increase rate of the last three months with the average dryness rate since the beginning of this century.
According to their report, 2022 was the warmest year in terms of average summer temperature in the last two decades. Just as Europe has been burned by the devastating fires of climate change, severe droughts have also occurred in some parts of China. Drought has even occurred in the United States due to lack of rain.
The BBC report also said that Europe is facing the worst drought in the history of 500 years due to the impact of climate change. Not only that, the water level of Europe's major rivers has also started to drop at an alarming rate, the report said. Scientists also fear that climate change will cause more droughts in Europe in the coming days.
In addition, in a report published in February, scientists said that the western region of the United States has seen severe drought conditions for the last two decades in 1200 years. In addition to causing fire, the water level in the reservoir is going down. Several climate models suggest that this pattern of rainlessness will continue in the coming decades in this region of the United States.
The United Nations has warned that about two and a half million people in Africa will be affected by severe famine due to the increase in the rate of natural disasters around the world due to the effects of climate change.
