Climate change intensifies European droughts
An international team of scientists has reported that climate change caused by human activity is the primary reason for the severe drought wave sweeping Europe, with record-high temperatures exacerbating the effects of reduced rainfall. The study explained that a rise in temperatures of 1.4°C since 1850 has accelerated the loss of moisture from soils and rivers, increasing the likelihood of severe drought even in areas receiving below-average rainfall. These phenomena are linked to wildfires and the water challenges facing the continent, with the risks heightened by rising temperatures and the accumulation of water vapor in the atmosphere.
