| Climate Change: Europe’s 500 Year’s 500 Year Drought Record Broken |
Two-thirds of
continental Europe is currently suffering from some kind of drought and this is
the worst drought in 500 years that the countries of this continent are facing.
According to the latest report of the Global Drought Observatory, 47% of
continental Europe has drought-like conditions, which means that the soil in
these areas has dried up. 17% of the area is under alert, i.e. showing signs of
weed and vegetation infestation. The report warns that the drought will affect
crop production, cause forest fires, and could last for several months in
southern Europe.
