Climate models shows desertification in these areas on 4,0C temperature rise. Same areas are now at 1,1C (1,38C in land areas) drying extremely fast. If this keeps on going, then models have underestimated the desertification risks specially in mediterraneian area and in western USA. Also India, Pakistan, Gulf region, other parts of Asia, Australia, parts of Southern America and Africa are not doing well on current conditions. Many areas are alerting 30% drops in their crop yields and situation is worsening fast. At the same time we are making conditions even worse by cutting forests, so there is no shade and pumping too much ground water from reservoirs, so there will be no fresh water for inland crops. In the same time warming causes all mountain glaciers to melt reducing further the river runoffs and even the cooling effects in the area. Also flooding risks are increasing with more humidity in the air, tougher ground surface after drying out, less snow and more rains, ... In some areas ground water levels have plummeted so far that these reservoirs are draining salty sea water in them making them unusable for agriculture or for animals. In the same time we are restocking coal and gas plants making this even worse. And even the possibilities to phase out fossil fuels are down, because Russia and China are not even discussing about this matter because of the war and politics. And others are following their lead. Like India is taking loads of cheap Russian fossil energy to their storages... Current situation in the world is making it even more likely that climate change will go over 4C temperatures by 2100 and it is causing extreme difficulties to the nature and even for human survival.
the Western US is basically a desert. varying altitudes and latitudes but it's a hot dry desert, always has been except right after the Younger Dryass ocean currents and mountain chains have kept it desert for 10k years. time for a change or just bury it like the Sahara.
@@RIXRADvidz Western US is somewhat a desert, but there is still agriculture, river flowing, lakes, even melting glaciers, etc. These are drying up and in the same time ground water levels are going down. There has been quite much agriculture in that region that has now become more and more impossible to continue. Even now there are farms that has to plow half of their crops to the ground because of ever worsening drought. Even some communities does not have enough water for their own usage. You haven't seen last few years of wild fires that are all the time breaking new records? Arid area or even a semi-desert is nothing compared to Saharan like dune filled true desert. And this is going on from Rocky mountains to California and up to even across Canadian border. It is a huge area with new temperature records, heatwaves and ever worsening drought. Even true deserts in the area are having their own heat records, like in Death Valley...
@@krishnkant9477 every year farmers in the cereal growing areas of northern India have to pump ground water a metre or so deeper, costing more energy to pump.

I often get ridiculed on TH-cam for saying that these problems worsen as global population increases. Population will be the next serious conversation in the decades to come.
I love this term conversation which is basically saying let's talk about stuff but not actually do anything and yet the conversation that we should be having is one that no one will have because they don't want to admit that adults having Chinese toys is causing the problem . We're happy to do something about the environment as long as it doesn't affect us it anyway that's basically the modern human . Billions of dollars of Chinese plastic is being bought everyday by western people. Sadly all this plastic is made in unregulated factories poisoning the planet and no one cares less
@@jamied8678 yea, it's discouraging that conversations don't often turn into actual changes in behavior. For me, I've decided not to have children, I'm married and 39. I also shared one car with my wife for two years, that was tough but we did do it. And I've cut my shower time down significantly (I still smell decent, I hope;) I have also created a system where I transfer excess shower water into the top shelf of the toilet, which saves maybe 6-8 gallons per day. It isn't much but I'm trying. Have you been working on anything, or considering making changes?
Not only industrialization. Believing and worshiping the wrong theology philosophy Moral ethical virtue./ collapse Karma is absolute fact and the truth

And I guarantee in the time it took me to write this the Chinese have just made another billion dollars selling plastic
@@jamied8678 is there an article about it that you can show? I'd be interested! Also, this contributes to the climate, sure but the growing demand of energy consuption is the problem here. And how this energy created. For example china still uses coal for more than 70% of it's energy, and making toys is just a tiny portion of it. People just so used to technology that they think everythink is granted with it, so although it is a climate problem, we have a huge sociocultural problem as well here. And I don't want to be cynical, but people won't give up their comfort for a sustainable future. Mainly because all the climate changes appeared slowly up to this point. But hopefully this will get more attention from now on...
Chic is a fox...lloll...my opinion is the following I would say every city has to plant 250,000 trees and every apartment now has to have 5 to 10 plants. We have to urgently reduce the dense urban temperature. Also we have to use water more than once. Shower water is a Greta source of water along with toilet water.
High soil organic matter with trees and understory plant life is the only longterm solution to this drought issue by holding onto the most moisture possible overtime. replace standard farms crops with hybrid orchards (containing those crops in moderation).
It wouldn't matter if we planted a billion trees every year it's still not going to soak up all the pollution caused by Chinese factory's so that western adults can have toys

is severe drought the new normal, your thumbnail image, Yes! unless you live where it's getting more storms/rain, then there's more of that, flooding etc.
And who was it who started using the term the New normal ? the internet who coincidentally is selling lots of plastic Chinese toys poisoning the environment so 40-year-old men can show off their nerf gun on Facebook all made in China and unregulated factories
well hopefully no, this is not the new normal. Hopefully our governments will use our tax money to build solutions to the water shortages instead of allowing corrupt ex-chancellors to keep their extravagant privileges
Something one science expert said that stuck with me, he said some area's will see more precipitation while others will see less. Death Valley just had a once in a 1,000 years mega flood, and Saint Louis & Kentucky did also.
The scientist said that the weather patterns are going to become more extreme and that's exactly what's happening but people keep ignoring them cos they want to keep buying stuff from China made in factories that are poisoning the planet
All countries except Russia will be prey to rising warmth. The glacier fed rivers will become slim and vast population will face shortage of water, crops, industry etc.
Well I think it's a small price to pay considering I can buy Chinese toys to entertain myself so cheap who cares if they're poisoning to planet I want to live my life to the full . I want to be out of show off my latest nerf gun on Facebook I don't care everyone else suffers this is my life
We can, but no one wants to make any single effort to change their lifestyle. The sales of big 4x4 SUVs are increasing, the sales of airplane tickets are increasing, Amazon's sales are increasing, the sales of fast fashion brands are increasing, and so on. People always think it's up to other people to change their behaviors, without realizing that many of their own behaviors are part of the problem.
Deepening the Rhine will not help, but maybe construction of new weirs and barrages could be the solution as well it would allow for new hydro power plants.

This has all been building up since the turbulent climate patterns we had going back to 2018, when, if you may remember, we had similar extreme heatwaves, dried-up resources and wildfires, and this trend continued into the following year, and then an average was attained during 2020-21 in the midst of the Pandemic before the extreme weather shifts reached a peak again this year. The extremities have been caused by meterological patterns in the atmosphere that trap hot air and low pressure and prohibit a constant flow of contrast for prolonged periods, hence why for instance we have had a long heatwave and drought over much of Europe and in the US Southwest. Furthermore, as user Relaxing Sounds just pointed out further down, this is hardly a new situation, though in the grander analysis of things, events such as this present irregular occurences.

Also flooding risks are increasing with more humidity in the air, tougher ground surface after drying out, less snow and more rains, ... In some areas ground water levels have plummeted so far that these reservoirs are draining salty sea water in them making them unusable for agriculture or for animals.
In the same time we are restocking coal and gas plants making this even worse. And even the possibilities to phase out fossil fuels are down, because Russia and China are not even discussing about this matter because of the war and politics. And others are following their lead. Like India is taking loads of cheap Russian fossil energy to their storages...
Current situation in the world is making it even more likely that climate change will go over 4C temperatures by 2100 and it is causing extreme difficulties to the nature and even for human survival.
the Western US is basically a desert. varying altitudes and latitudes but it's a hot dry desert, always has been except right after the Younger Dryass ocean currents and mountain chains have kept it desert for 10k years. time for a change or just bury it like the Sahara.
@@RIXRADvidz
Western US is somewhat a desert, but there is still agriculture, river flowing, lakes, even melting glaciers, etc. These are drying up and in the same time ground water levels are going down. There has been quite much agriculture in that region that has now become more and more impossible to continue. Even now there are farms that has to plow half of their crops to the ground because of ever worsening drought. Even some communities does not have enough water for their own usage. You haven't seen last few years of wild fires that are all the time breaking new records? Arid area or even a semi-desert is nothing compared to Saharan like dune filled true desert.
And this is going on from Rocky mountains to California and up to even across Canadian border. It is a huge area with new temperature records, heatwaves and ever worsening drought.
Even true deserts in the area are having their own heat records, like in Death Valley...
Nothing catastrophic is happening in India. Pretty everything is normal. I am an Indian and would like to know it.
@@krishnkant9477 every year farmers in the cereal growing areas of northern India have to pump ground water a metre or so deeper, costing more energy to pump. Eventually the aquifers will become too difficult or too expensive to exploit. How expensive will running pumps be for farmers in India this year? Hopefully the problems will be overcome indefinitely, but no sensible person would bet on it with energy costs generally spiking for at least the next few years.
@@martiansoon9092 There are already communities in California that straight up have no water at all anymore. People are having to import bottled water just to meet their needs.

Isnt it useful to clean the dirt of the ground of the river rhine, until water rises again.
If you deepen the Rine wouldn't the water just flow away quicker?
if you deepen the Rine it would only fill back in again after the first big winter spate lol very very daft idea and waist of resources
i think its more for the future it wont help now but when the river fills again it will hold more water for the next drought
We have been telling them for years to do something about it to start fixing the environment they just completely ignore us the only time they want to take action is when it's too late think of there kids you tell them if you do this you're going to have consequences and they repeatedly do it and then when their you say ok now you're going to get the consequences their kids turn around and go I'm sorry I won't do it now and then the you don't discipline them the moral of the story they don't care until they've gone too far
Yes people have been talking about climate change for a long time but unfortunately it was the university students with their dreadlocks and then ripped clothing that we're doing all the protests and mainstream people and business did not want to associate themselves with those type of people so we just let the issue slide. But for the last 20 years the Chinese have been grooming adults to act like children and buy their plastic toys. The American spend 10 billion dollars just on Halloween buying plastic toys made in China in unregulated factories spewing out pollution on a daily basis this is what's causing the problem but try telling people that who want to buy the latest nerf gun to show off on Facebook.
So what else is not new?
@@SkyRiver1 a lot actually the planet is about to stop working and people just keep buying stuff from China who are polluting the Earth so people can have toys
Everybody so surprised. Duh.
Africa has more severe problem then Europe Since almost 50 years. Bt no one European news channels feel to worry.
A famous person say correctly about Europe - "Europe's problem is World's problem but World's problem is not Europe's problem."
It's not European people, it's rampant capitalism that causes 'Europe' to forget Africa. This drought is affecting their profits.
If the ordinary people were properly informed about the problems worldwide there would be an outcry as there was with Ethiopia in 1984/5.
That is incorrect. European news media has reported on these problems in Africa for a looooong time.
1) European news do report a lot about Africa and other countries in general
2) Why are you clicking on a European news channel if you don't want to hear news about Europe?

I can barely recall the last time it rained here in California (SJ/SF). Obviously, this is also a huge problem with nearly every other state, city, and country as well. 😕
How bout extreme floods here in East Asia
Not helping Europe, that's for sure.
The opposite is true
How long is it till winter and cold months come? After summer
It's rained almost everyday for 3 months where I live in the US. Lots of flooding this summer in Ohio, WV, Kentucky,.....
I often get ridiculed on TH-cam for saying that these problems worsen as global population increases. Population will be the next serious conversation in the decades to come.
I love this term conversation which is basically saying let's talk about stuff but not actually do anything and yet the conversation that we should be having is one that no one will have because they don't want to admit that adults having Chinese toys is causing the problem . We're happy to do something about the environment as long as it doesn't affect us it anyway that's basically the modern human . Billions of dollars of Chinese plastic is being bought everyday by western people. Sadly all this plastic is made in unregulated factories poisoning the planet and no one cares less
@@jamied8678 yea, it's discouraging that conversations don't often turn into actual changes in behavior. For me, I've decided not to have children, I'm married and 39. I also shared one car with my wife for two years, that was tough but we did do it. And I've cut my shower time down significantly (I still smell decent, I hope;) I have also created a system where I transfer excess shower water into the top shelf of the toilet, which saves maybe 6-8 gallons per day. It isn't much but I'm trying.
Have you been working on anything, or considering making changes?
Regardless of the cause, man or nature, the snowpack in the Alps is decreasing, which means almost every major river in Europe is screwed...

You tell that to billions of adults that now want to buy Chinese toys because they're not willing to grow up 🤣 the American spend 10 billion dollars on plastic toys and masks just for Halloween and all that is made in unregulated factories. And I guarantee in the time it took me to write this the Chinese have just made another billion dollars selling plastic
@@jamied8678 is there an article about it that you can show?
I'd be interested!
Also, this contributes to the climate, sure but the growing demand of energy consuption is the problem here. And how this energy created. For example china still uses coal for more than 70% of it's energy, and making toys is just a tiny portion of it.
People just so used to technology that they think everythink is granted with it,
so although it is a climate problem, we have a huge sociocultural problem as well here.
And I don't want to be cynical, but people won't give up their comfort for a sustainable future. Mainly because all the climate changes appeared slowly up to this point. But hopefully this will get more attention from now on...
Deepening a river does not mean that there is more water.
Time for gloval cooperation, not promoting wars.
where does the water go?
Please remember. No one really know how long these droughts are going to last.
Chic is a fox...lloll...my opinion is the following I would say every city has to plant 250,000 trees and every apartment now has to have 5 to 10 plants. We have to urgently reduce the dense urban temperature.
Also we have to use water more than once. Shower water is a Greta source of water along with toilet water.
I like the idea 💙
No food, no people.
Yeah its horrible, yet on the other side we could clean the river bank from trash.
High soil organic matter with trees and understory plant life is the only longterm solution to this drought issue by holding onto the most moisture possible overtime. replace standard farms crops with hybrid orchards (containing those crops in moderation).
It wouldn't matter if we planted a billion trees every year it's still not going to soak up all the pollution caused by Chinese factory's so that western adults can have toys
The Rhine can be deepening 🤣🤣🤣I bet this dude failed 3rd grade math. The water level would drop exactly the same depth when you're trying to dig it deeper.
Right on man,it's the water that flows through that's reduced, not the depth of the river valley
and People out there still think that there is a bright future :) we're heading to very dark times :)
Yes, a dark future from too much light!
wake up. There is less hunger, more crops and less hurricanes. Everything is going just fine.
Wasn't there a bunch f flooding a couple of years ago?
You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for these things must take place, but the end is not yet.
For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,+ and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another.
All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.

What year did the Rhine dry up completely in the past?
It isn't a drought if it's wetter than it will ever be again.
When Zimbabwe had its drought, Mugabe was blamed from being a dictator and autocratic as if he controlled nature. Now that Europe is experiencing a similar pattern,would Olaf be blamed or the blame would be on Putin?
looks like a Tropical climate
It rains in the Tropics, they have more water than they need.
A year ago it was severe flooding tho (also Rhine I think).
Press won’t survive without some sorts of scary stories.
The river is saying us what happens by burning coal but we keep thinking it´s not enough. Go on until there is any water then.
is severe drought the new normal, your thumbnail image, Yes! unless you live where it's getting more storms/rain, then there's more of that, flooding etc.
And who was it who started using the term the New normal ? the internet who coincidentally is selling lots of plastic Chinese toys poisoning the environment so 40-year-old men can show off their nerf gun on Facebook all made in China and unregulated factories
well hopefully no, this is not the new normal. Hopefully our governments will use our tax money to build solutions to the water shortages instead of allowing corrupt ex-chancellors to keep their extravagant privileges
Water water everywhere. And the mosquitoes that come with the washed out roads and swamps overflowing. Is this the future?

3:08 Apparently, climate change prevents creepy reporters from growing any hair on their heads! 🤢🤮
Something one science expert said that stuck with me, he said some area's will see more precipitation while others will see less. Death Valley just had a once in a 1,000 years mega flood, and Saint Louis & Kentucky did also.
The scientist said that the weather patterns are going to become more extreme and that's exactly what's happening but people keep ignoring them cos they want to keep buying stuff from China made in factories that are poisoning the planet
@@jamied8678 No telling how much garbage they are spewing out and into the atmosphere, like raw sewage i see on Twitter all the time
All countries except Russia will be prey to rising warmth. The glacier fed rivers will become slim and vast population will face shortage of water, crops, industry etc.
Well I think it's a small price to pay considering I can buy Chinese toys to entertain myself so cheap who cares if they're poisoning to planet I want to live my life to the full . I want to be out of show off my latest nerf gun on Facebook I don't care everyone else suffers this is my life
Can we do our best to NOT make this the new normal??
No, it is going to get worse even if we stop causing this problem for a while, and it takes about 200 years to reverse.
We can, but no one wants to make any single effort to change their lifestyle. The sales of big 4x4 SUVs are increasing, the sales of airplane tickets are increasing, Amazon's sales are increasing, the sales of fast fashion brands are increasing, and so on.
People always think it's up to other people to change their behaviors, without realizing that many of their own behaviors are part of the problem.
@@PG-3462 That is what people wold say to me when I do everything to change my behavior. Isn't that funny.
Its much more accurate to select this phrase- all signs point to the likelihood that the old norm is highly unlikely to be normal 🎈
Are we convinced now that we're screwed, or can things be saved "if we act now"? I hate that phrase.
Deepening the Rhine will not help, but maybe construction of new weirs and barrages could be the solution as well it would allow for new hydro power plants.
Of course it won't

This has all been building up since the turbulent climate patterns we had going back to 2018, when, if you may remember, we had similar extreme heatwaves, dried-up resources and wildfires, and this trend continued into the following year, and then an average was attained during 2020-21 in the midst of the Pandemic before the extreme weather shifts reached a peak again this year. The extremities have been caused by meterological patterns in the atmosphere that trap hot air and low pressure and prohibit a constant flow of contrast for prolonged periods, hence why for instance we have had a long heatwave and drought over much of Europe and in the US Southwest. Furthermore, as user Relaxing Sounds just pointed out further down, this is hardly a new situation, though in the grander analysis of things, events such as this present irregular occurences.

Let's see ... we have solar/wind energy generating technology, we have robotic technology, we have hovercraft technology, why don't we apply these various technologies to our problems? instead of depending on a means of transport more than 10k years old, how about circumventing the problem and getting on with life.
