Europe's rivers are running dry as the climate crisis worsens | DW News

- Much of Europe and the Northern Hemisphere is battling either wildfires, low water levels, harvest warnings, water use restrictions or a mixture of all these. In Germany, one core focus of the drought is the Rhine River, which ultimately connects the Alps with the North Sea. Europe's second-longest river after the Danube, it is also a core shipping lane for western Germany. It is still open to freight traffic for now, but already boats are unable to run fully laden. Germany's Federal Institute of Hydrology warned on Thursday that without rain, one notorious shallow point on the river could become completely impassable next week.

"transporting cargo including coal, oil and gas" .. how exceedingly ironic
Even a frightening addiction...
The revenge of H2O haha
And sounds like the perfect time to go solar, can be attached to every home and can be sent back to the grid.. xx
Crying on media about how truck drivers are dying of lung cancer, hence, this is affecting the transportation of tobacco. Hahahaha
As promised "beg"!!!!
Rain water collection systems and storage need to become part of every home and business building.
What little rain there is should not be wasted.
They've determined that even rain water isn't safe anymore for drinking.
The water must flow?
They'll just lob solar panels atop everything and act like it conserved fresh water, somehow.
Side rant: Nobody in a position of power is reading the writing on the wall and leading a proper ecological charge. They're all saying, "we'll have it later, and we're totally working a solution right now, I pinky swear" but there is absolutely no tangible change in everyone's daily lives. The literal rivers disappear and they act as though it is of zero consequence. "What harm is there in the death of a fertile basin?" is what they're thinking, from an executive's pool party.

Ironically there is too much heavy metal, arsenic and other toxins in rainwater... from fossil fuel burning. Other industrial pollutions too, but mostly fossil fuel burning by a wide margin. The type of stuff an adult might just suffer mildly from, though still get a negative impact all the same, but young children and especially unborn children can take severe damage from. From poor brain development to other physiological abnormalities. Maybe once we've kicked the fossil fuels habit.
Wow, never thought I would see the day that Europe's rivers would be so low, I remember traveling there as a kid and just amazed by the beauty. Its honestly incredibly shocking, I didn't realize just how bad it is.
Last year 2021 was the opposite in Europe, rivers were too full of water, floods in central Europe and London. Next year, 2023, will probably be a normal summer.
This is not something new. rivers drying up has happened before
Was the same in 1976 ..this is nothing new...

We experience this in CapeTown, South Africa. For 3 years drought creep into Cape Town. Some of our rivers dried up. We we're limited on water and we we're told that they will shutdown millions of water taps but we as a country came together and prayed for days. The Lord came through for us. The Lord send the rain...I think we experienced a week of non stop rain. Praise the Lord. It is only for a city to come together before Jesus Christ and pray.
Meanwhile areas of Australia that burned in fire only a couple of years ago are experiencing once in a hundred year floods multiple times in 2 years. Droughts, fires and floods have always existed but the severity, frequency and unpredictability are all getting worse.
I think recently burned areas are less capable of absorbing rainfall. We had terrible landslides in California because of heavy rain shortly after a wildfire.
@@magesalmanac6424 that's right. Green growing cover stabilises soil with root systems and captures rain
Those were the fires where people got burned alive in their cars as they waited too long to evacuate. What a horrible horrible painful death that must have been. 😢😢😢
@@tiermacgirl - and, the plants keep the soil cooler.
😅🤣
It's ironic that in a drought with water levels falling and the ships that carry the fuel that actually is in part the cause of global warming, coal, are having a hard time going down the river!
It was safer to burn gas. But...
Too simplistic. Another important factor is human over-use of the rivers for irrigation and cities. Also, the climate has been warming for 20,000 years, how much of the recent warming is due to burning fossil fuels is a matter of speculation rather than fact.
@@DaveParkerNZ66 Not another wannabe expert, every scientist disagrees, opinion rejected.
@@DaveParkerNZ66 OK so explain the dramatic spike in long time average temperatures that starts right after the industrial revolution. Yes the climate naturally cools and warms, but not in the "dramatic" and quickness we've seen in the last hundred years. Quickness relatively I mean.
It's called nature's intelligence
In Australia, we experience these things on a regular basis. Unfortunately, with the climate becoming more extreme, so are the impacts from them. 2019 saw the whole country burn, then flood in early 2020, flood again this year, and we are being warned to brace for a very wet summer.
Here by us in Cape Town, the climate is also changing rapidly. A whole month's rain falls in 20 minutes, but there's still a huge drought. 😢😢😢

The most realistic scenario is +4,0°C. We already reached 1,2°C.
@@halleffect5439 At 4deg we're basically fuckt.
That water has to go somewhere, maybe the southern hemisphere...
*When it rains, the water is **_meant_** to seep into the ground, which soaks up the water like a sponge.*
In a world that is covered with bitumen, concrete, buildings and stormwater drainage, rainwater exits the land far too quickly, hurtling back to the sea.
That may be true in cities, but most land is not covered, we are seeing less gentle long duration rain fall and more short intense high volume rain fall, leading to drought and food cycles.
The way you get rid of most of this asphalt and concrete, is by eliminating parking lots and highways

Actually since about 15 years old I predicted all this would start showing effects by 2020, and here we are.
There are quite a few scientists that knew this was coming and I'm sad to say but it's going to get much much worse. The next 3 years will be our last.
"as the climate crisis worsens" - it's not worsening within a few months, we just see the full extent now
This is nothing like the full extent. Wait 50 years.
When this is over, most people will forget and continue their lives as nothing is going on. I have to laugh more and more with the people who think the next 50 years will be the same as the previous 50 years.
@@E3ECO Even that probably won't be anywhere near the main extent. The "absolute" worst extent is that Earth ends up like Venus. However, that is a long ways away. And we will have died before that point, most likely. But our transition is entirely where humanity's suffering will be.

A year ago the UK was suffering from unprecedented rain and floods thanks to Storm Bella. Rivers were so full the banks had burst causing floods all over the country. It's a very dry summer, soon it will be raining again and we'll be miserable.
Well don't be miserable just buy more toys from China so that you'll forget that the toys you've just bought from China are causing the pollution which is going to end the planet in the next 20 years
A possible suggestion for collecting rainwater when there is no rainfall - overnight my verandah roof has condensation dripping down off its roof as it runs down to each supporting beam and thus anything directly underneath those beams gets wet right under the full length of each beam so has to be placed within the gap/spacing between of each metal beam to stay dry.
The Entire roof is corrugated sheet metal and with some plastic skylighting which also runs condensation down to each metal beam - yet the same arrangement of corrugated sheet metal on the metal beams in the garage/shed never gets condensation forming. I suspect it's because the Roof in the Shed is enclosed by walls.
So an open air arrangement of corrugated sheet metal gets the condensation dripping down from it because the underside is seemingly cooled off faster with no walls to stop wind colling it down rapidly to form the condensation.
Not sure what use this observation is to anybody but some brainiac might be able to come up with a better arrangement for collecting condensation from an open roof.
ironically had the builders of the metal roofing supports beams placed them the other way to what they are it would have run down the channels of each beam to the ends of those beams and kept anything underneath dry. Incidentally the roof is high and of gabled design so reversing the beams the other way would only work on a gabled roof and the beams are this shape [ but with an upward curl on the [ shaped beam to act as a gutter - if you can visualize what I'm attempting to describe that is. 🙃

Incredible that upscale stores had open doors with air-conditioning up to now. I was surprised when walking down streets in cities in Europe feeling the A/C from the stores. Incredible.
They were getting cheap Russian energy
@@jelenatj1825 Europe without cheap Russian energy is going to look like an entirely different place and unfortunately I don't think it's going to be for the better. Renewables just aren't there yet and even if they were the EU's geography just seems kinda bad compared to countries like China, the US and Russia.
@@PendulumCancel the Iberian peninsula could supply all Europe with solar in summer and Scandinavia with hidro and wind in winter, it's a matter of time and investment, not geography.
@@PendulumCancel renewables in Europa actually have the capacity to produce a lot, but the problem has been the weather, we've had too little wind for wind turbines, and dry weather has emptied out hydropower reservoirs, here in Norway, where we're a mostly hydro-reliant nation, the shortage of water in reservoirs have been a big issue
@@PendulumCancel i cant wait for Europe's children to freeze in their beds this winter! All because their elites must "punish Russia" 😂

harvest more water during rainy seasons, so it is stored for the dry months

I live near a river which has moved upwards to the edges. In the last few days. That was before the short rain day. Thats in Sussex, England.
Some years ago it was expected that there would be drought in the future.but now there
is no need to say that there will be drought in the future because that terrific future has already arrived.

Here in northwest Bulgaria in Europe our local river is not dry for first time in years, and we have water all year around and the temperatures were not all that heigh. Hopefully next year it's the same
The biggest drought in Europe was in 1540.The civilization of the Maya collapsed due to a drought. And they lived on cities in the middle of the jungle. And there usually rains.And usually rains a lot.
The biggest heat wave in Europe was in 1911 when 41 thousands people died of heat only in Paris.
Scholars have no idea what really happened to the Mayan civilization. You can't say for certain it was drought.
the fact that it is already this bad worries me. we are nowhere near stopping co2 emmisions. it will get worse before it will get better
Honestly mate I don’t think it will get better
It is NOT going to get better. Water loss WILL cause global war, famine, pestilence. Humans can live without a lot of things, but the singular thing they cannot live without, is water.
Even the Bread Basket is affected.
Our aquifers are emptied our lakes and rivers are drying.
But, the powers that be are worried about "birth rates".
Only the rich and comfortable think it's okay to intentionally bring children into a world in which, as it stands today, they will likely not even reach adulthood. For the ruling Elite and their comfortable minions, maintaining their expendable and renewable workforce is Paramount.
They will maintain their riches and comfort on the ashes of our coattails as we plunge into the abyss together.
Not a single person alive today will see it get better
NASA studies recently made public show that germany has lost groundwater over the past decade and will continue to loose groundwater. This is a trend not easily reverted. Companies like Coca Cola(just one example, there are many more) should be forbidden to use ground- or tabwater. Equally companies that use lots of water for their production cycle need to invest into public desalanation plants.(No, these shall not be in private hands, this would just make these gold diggers profiteering from misery).
There are already some measures on the way where past attempts to straighten rivers(increasing their depth and flow to be used by ships aswell hindering natural flooding) and the establishing of barrier lakes all had adverse effects on groundwater and now flooding will be reintroduced to wider areas. This will take time to take effect and in drought years like now it just isn't happening at all.
For water consumption we need a bunch of desalination plants as we here in germany do have a coast line. As we are already building offshore windparks, those may deliver the needed energy for that. MIT studies have shown further processing to reduce the environmental impact of brine water which usually was reintroduced into the sea and i expect more studies into that direction may make this a better option otherwise we will need landfill with groundwater protection.

If our governments spent half as much effort in mitigation and water management as they do on punishing us for using energy, we'd all be a lot better off. Look at Venice. It took millions of Euros and almost 30 years to install its flood barrier system. Where are the hydro- and thermo-electric projects? Where are the new desalination plants? Why didn't they accept President Trump's generous offer of US LNG, even offering to build the terminals?

As long as the governments of the major European countries ignore warnings about climate change, it will only get worse and worse. Profit is above reason. In the last 20 years there have been warnings, but profit has been more important, when will politicians realize this serious climate change threat?
When voters stop voting in politicians who r more concerned w/enriching themselves and protecting the coal, oil, gas corporations and the money from the most corrupt and horrible autocratic countries which r rich in oil. If one party or faction of a party doesn’t vote for climate change mitigation, green energy, doesn’t vote for enough mitigation/green energy, or votes for mitigation/green energy while also expanding coal, oil, or gas, like in the US the GOP who won’t vote for any climate change mitigation and protect these greedy corporations/autocrats or Dem establishment who say they support climate change mitigation, who passed a decent bill putting over $300 billion for climate change mitigation policies over the next 10yrs but which increase leasing public lands and water for oil leasing, which must be done before any climate change mitigation policies can begin for that year, increases government subsidies for oil corporations, adds a new pipeline, etc which feels like one step forward and two steps back, don’t vote for a different politician in those same parties (GOP)/factions (establishment Dems), vote for a politician in a more leftward faction, like a far-left Dem in the US system. In the US, the far-left Dems r also least corrupt, r passionate/activists for the M&L classes, r some of the poorest politicians we have (look at Bernie, for a guy who has been in the government for forever but has refused to sell out to enrich himself like Dem establishment and the GOP have), support the modern version FDR far-left Dem policies which is what pulled the US out of the Great Depression, invested in long-term growth, high return on investment domestic programs, led us through WWII successfully, saving ourselves and helping our friends to save their democracies, significantly decreased our income and wealth inequality, creating the largest M class in the world at that time, widespread prosperity, made the wealthy/corporations pay their fair share of taxes/switched from a regressive tax code to a progressive tax code, supported to most labor unions the US has ever had, broke up many of the monopolies/oligopolies, created a well-funded and well functioning local, state, and federal government, dems controlled most state legislatures, the house, senate, and WH most of the time from 1933-1979, moved us from an Oligarchy to a democracy/social democracy, created a fair economy for all income levels and all business sizes, increased opportunities and social mobility for the M&L classes, created the M class dream, etc. We began to lose that more democratic/social democratic, for the ppl government in the 1971 when a republican Supreme Court justice sent a memo to the US Chamber of Commerce titled, “The Lewis Powell Memo: a Corporate Blueprint to Dominate Democracy.” We then allowed our government to become captured by the wealthy and corporations w/the landslide election of Reagan, a far-right republican, in 1980. We’ve been on the same Reagan policies ever since. To move closer to democracy/social democracy and reverse the damaging GOP policies since 1971/1980, we need another landslide election of a far-left Dem president, Dem congress, and dem control of most state legislatures, repeat 1932 US election and then keep Dems in control of government most of the time. That would result in the ppl taking back our government to work for all Americans and the US as a whole, not mostly just for the wealthy/corporations, putting profits before common sense, like on gun control in the US, single payer healthcare, a comprehensive immigration bill, bring the national debt down after the initial investment into long-term growth, high return on investment programs, decrease/eliminate US corporations using the US for our rule of law and unfair economy while using the cheap labor countries for many of the jobs which used to be good paying manufacturing jobs in the US.
Well, Profits just for the billionaires and millionaires owning shares in FF industry. Profits made on the backs of Poor and the Middle class who have to suffer climate change consequences.
It’s the lack of more frequent and severe tropical cyclones that have affected the drought conditions. Global climate change theorists have claimed for years that tropical cyclones were going to be getting worse. It look like those theories were false.

Ya know... employing the line, "the new normal" falsely suggests 1) There was a recent normal; debatable... anyone who believes there was such a thing perhaps mistakes their "nostalgia" for "stability" and to the point, 2) The extreme condition (weather, terror threats, lock downs, etc) will become "normal". Pandemic policies & fundamentalism aside, the extreme weather condition, as predicted by the scientific community, will continually worsen so the idea of "new normal" suggests weather will stabilize in the coming future, which it wont.

There are already attempts under way to make rivers flood certain zones again as they did before all the rivers were made straight and barrier lakes were built, which therefor would help groundwater to replenish, but that too is something that needs to balance itself out over longer period of time and till then rationing will be needed and companies like Coca Cola should not be allowed anymore to use up ground- or tabwater.
so more pollution by desalination plants(requiring energy and resurses) !? and stfu with cocacola banning (which is literally just tea with few essences aromas + carbonated water) WHILE HOW MUCH WATER IT'S WASTED IN FOOD CREATION + DRINKING WATER AND THEIR CORPSES PROCESSING/WASHING AFTER KNIFINGS OF COWS AND PIGS CORPSES AND SECRETIONS. A LITER OF MILK(ANIMAL SECRETION) CONSUMES FEW TIMES (NOT ONLY DOUBLE) MORE POTABLE WATER TO OBTAIN THAT LITER, TRANSFORMING WATER AND FOOD INTO URINE FECES AMONIA CO2 ETC POLLUTION AS A RESULT.
JUST DON'T WASTE OUR TIME WITH MISINFORMATION AND HERRINGS AND SMEARING NOISE MISLEADINGS.
It takes a lot of energy to power a desalination plant. Which is perhaps a "little problem" these days in the EU. No gas. No fuel. No water. Even Saudi Arabia buys Russian oil just to power their desalination plants, so that they can export their own crude... at high price :-)
Railways are inflexible compared to _the rivers_ they would be replacing?
@@MelkorPT Yes, I thought that was funny as well. Try digging out a new river over laying track!
@@MelkorPT They actually are. If a ship breaks during the trip it usually just drifts to the side on its own, or is dragged there, and the other ships move around it. When a train breaks the entire track is blocked. And if it's some accident we're talking about several hours, even days of that section of the track being unusable. Also ships/barges carry huge amount of cargo. To replace that with a train, you'll need very, very long compositions, that need the appropriate train stations to maneuver, load and unload.
It is so very heartening that there are noble people in this world, as in Spain, who do what must be done for those they have pledged to do certain things.

It is going to get pretty cold this winter too, without any heat
"This is the lowest since 1995..." ummm soooo this is all normal? Haha 😂
Many countries are going through drought and intense heat such as living in a desert and the impacts that this causes such as economics, agriculture and livestock, water management and supply, industry, hydroelectric power generation, environmental impacts, water, soil, air, living organisms , protected natural spaces, pollution and increase in forest fires.
There's definitely something wrong with the climate. Here in South Africa in Cape Town it's much colder this winter than usual, and the rain has all but disappeared. 😢😢😢
There is no global warming sure the medevil church was built hundreds of years ago when the water level was lower .
Exactly so a country should make an stock of commodities nowadays. If there was 7 year tribulation recorded in the Bible in Egypt, a country should copy the strategy of preserving products in time of crisis.
You forgot to mention the biggest threat of all, war.
It starts locally, one state against another but very soon after the positions have been taken and it will spread like a drop of oil on water on a hot day..
@@labourlawact7826 Clearly, the cold weather there is a result of global warming.
The parched cracked land cannot percolate water / rain water. We have to loosen the soil by making 6 feet x 6 feet shallow trenches or pools or pits per acre at least so that rain water as well as snow water can get collected in them several times during the rainy season . every rain , mild or heavy can fill them over and over again and that water will percolate . Then the surrounding soil also will become moist and absorb more water . Over the years ground water level will rise and water can be accessed at 8 - 10 feet !!
Northern hemisphere’s water all is transferred to southern hemisphere, we have serious floods in Australia.
Hotter summers, drier winters , the odd pandemic , the constant treat of a nuclear war , fuel crises , ripping inflation , famine , all seems pretty normal to me .
BIBLE TELLS ABOUT THIS!

Countries like Italy as well as states like California should not be growing rice or alfalfa which consume huge quantities of water. Wheat would be a much better choice which historically was dry farmed in those areas.
Yeah, or almonds! Why tf are we growing almonds in California??
Up until last year there was plenty of water. This year is drought, if it goes on they will have to change their way of growing plants.
Here in Birmingham UK we are being subjected to chem trail spraying that produce clouds over the day. Perhaps this spraying is affecting and reducing normal levels of rainfall.
We have had rain and 12 - 15 degrees celcius most of the summer...
Climate is about averages over longer periods, this is the second or third extreme hot summer already, so the averages are indeed changing, June and July, here in the Netherlands, are normally the wettest months of the year...
I feel like this summer actually isn't this bad, the last year's were really crazy but this summer? I feel like it wasn't extreme
It's been dry in the Netherlands too now hasn't it?
Climate is about average changes over time. However it is climate change that is making extreme drought, heat waves more likely both of which are affecting Europe increasingly.
Crops are failing in Italy and Spain and France because of drought. Yet Hollands PM Rutte wants to close Dutch Farms because of Davos and EU policies. This is madness to the extreme. You guys in Holland need to get rid of this mad man Rutte and leave the EU. They obviously do not know what is right and what is wrong.
@@albertinsinger7443 the only reason that this is done is due to court orders as well. The government has to follow the court orders to the best of their abilities, because otherwise law and order will soon enough cease to exist. Plus, with the toxic nitrogen levels the major farming industrials pout into the soil, eco systems are changing Ina rapid pace here, leaving the native wildlife seeking for other places to live.
I suspect that deforestation in the Amazon, Pantanal and Atlantic Forest that occurred since 2019 in Brazil has been significant enough to cause climate change in many regions of the world.

@@bcvxx8688 nope its in asia 😹😹
@@Entergalactic Loooool seriously get educated 🤣🤣🤣🤣. It's IN Europe.
The way this works (the desert zone) involves "latent heat of evaporation-condensation" which is much energy equalling for 1 kg water the same as heating 10 kg water by 60 degrees (and some latent heat of fusion-freezing also). Air rises wet from the ocean around the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) just north of equator in May-August and cools by say 90 degrees while rising 15 km which condenses the H2O gas and the water rains back down there. It would have cooled by say 135 degrees but all that latent heat of condensation & freezing held back 45 degrees of cooling. As it heads north at 15 km up the Coriolis Effect turns it hard right so it's stopped there and descends and gets heated by pressure as it descends, but it's bone dry because its H2O fell out when it rose, so it heats by maybe 135 degrees as it descends by 15 km so it's now 45 degrees warmer than the warm tropics where it rose due to "latent heat of evaporation-condensation" cooling the tropics where it rose and putting its heat into the air. My example is an exaggeration because it's also radiating heat to space but it does carry several extra degrees of heat north in the air due to water latent heat. So that causes the Sahara Desert and also it's dry air descending which means no cloud so the summer Sun is blazing. The Mediterranean Sea is too deep to be dried to desert but southern Europe is destined to gradually become in the desert zone of dry descending air from ITCZ that I just described. It's inevitable as the global warming relentlessly progresses due to the +CO2.
Perma frost melting releasing methane from decaying ice age organic matter is what's really heating the globe up so fast
Shifting of magnetic poles??
Surely All they need is electric cars. Don't they get it ?
Yet, the very people telling us to lower OUR emissions are the biggest culprits. Now they want to block out the sun 🤦♂️. Who comes up with this whacky stuff? Can we just throw all the greedy people into volcanoes? Stop all the deforestation and private jet emissions probably nets us another 1,000 years before we become a subterranean mole people.
Mate I know you think you're highly intelligent by writing a 1000 word essay but it's the Chinese toys that are causing the problem which people like you can't seem to do without
How is it that no one is accountable for the lack of energy?
Dams in big rivers where waters are diverted for cultivation also contributes to drier climate, the rivers and lake drying up because their water sources are being diverted.
There used to be a river called Saraswati a major big river like Ganga and Yamuna , in India, which was considered holy river and has been mentioned in many ancient literature more than 1000 years ago. But now nowhere to be found. It has completely disappeared.
So rivers can disappear. t is a geological mystery
Rivers and lakes drying up like this in various parts of world simultaneously should make people loose their sleep. Very serious and catastrophic events are unfolding.
Civilizations in history have fallen victim to water scarcity. Why should we be exception, just because we live in so called global world and connected virtually.
Imagine that, climate was changing back then too 🤔
Clinate has, and always will, change. Its the reasoning as to WHY that is the factor here. Today's why is globally our fault, not just nature doing its thing, or having localized climate change due to human meddling (as has happened in history).
So very sorry Europe that you're facing this! I hope the world can unite and help each other.
Sorry slightly idealistic. When has the world united before.

I remember taking a day trip / cruise up the Rhine River. It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen . ❤️🩹
The precious thing now is not gold anymore, but fresh water.
I can tell you that the Danube is full. I've seen it.
I am in Latvia. This winter was decent - cold, plenty of snow. Spring warmth came slowly, gradually so fruiting trees and bushes didn't get flowers frozen. June was very wet - seems like water table hasn't been this high in summer for at least 30 years. July, August really pleasant and warm. Nothing to complain about weather-wise here.
You're ok, so everything is fine?
@@yoya4766 no, it's really bad in West and South Europe this summer. It was bad in south Europe last summer as well. It was an extremely dry an hot summer where I live 4 years ago.
But it's not armaggedon as well. Some years are hotter, some cooler, some wetter others dryer. Sometimes it seems there's a lot of hysteria.
On average it's becoming warmer so we have to invest to adapt to that. But I think EU is doing a lot so we are going to deal relatively well with climate change .
The situation with the Rhine river has been much worse in the summer 20 years ago with water levels that did not allow any transportation at all for several weeks.
News flash. Twenty years ago global warming was already rearing its head.
Remember the summer of 2003? That was an early warning.
It used to be a lot worse hundreds of years ago during the little ice age when crops failed across Europe due to the cold leading to regular famines.
In Australia, we put out water for birds it's so sad watching how the heat effects them in the city there is not a abundance of trees
Watching this right after the story about Paris in a flash flood with snow yesterday.
Europe had all the time to embrace and developed renewable energy.
The problem is, is that we're not quite there yet. The UK has 500yrs if coal sat under our feet, but all the mines have been closed, our coal fired power stations are burning wood pellets shipped all the way from the USA who produce more pollution than coal. The problem is that Governments have embraced the green agenda with no real thought about the future, or how we transition from one to another, because all they care about is the short-term goals of winning the next election.
Europe is responsible for most of the CO2 emissions.
It doesn't work. Windmills produce little power, and their energy is frequently not used. Solar panel production is toxic.
The West is mainly responsible for these global climate changes. Biggest polution
@@artman12 lmao not even close to true. China is way more them them
The lack of hurricanes and tropical storms seem to be having an impact. I thought that global climate change was to result in more frequent and stronger tropical cyclones that would be actually bringing more rain to Europe?
true, here in the UK we've not had a single thunderstorm in my area this year (Warwickshire, Midlands) the weather just seems to have ground to a halt, whereas normally we used to see change every couple of days, now it's a round ever 5 weeks

Hardly. There will be cuts, but there will be some heating this winter, and we hardly had any real problems cooling this summer.

You're an eejit. The EU and Europe are not the same. Where I live it has been hot, but not experiencing any shortages. Nor are we expecting any this winter.
This drought is exactly what Europe needs right now. I'm hoping it gets worse so that the governments actually take this issue seriously because this will only get worse if we don't address it.

Cuting emissions is one thing, building atmospheric water generators is something that need to happen very soon. I'm surprised that no one mention this solution.
I live in Spain and I saw big rivers drying very quick.
Atmosphere water generators powered by solar energy.
The reason for why no one has mentioned it is because desalination plants is the only thing you need. The ocean won't run out of water no matter how many people drink from it.
The fact a medieval bridge is now visible means the river was far lower in those times.
Probably there was no dam back in those medieval times
@@fenrirgg very true. No doubt we have worsened these cyclical fluctuations.
Problem is the population then was only 5-8 million while the population today is 48 million with people expecting much better standard of living and longer, healthier lifetimes..
Yet there was more water in the high mountains, more ice somehow. More ice in the icecaps and way les people around.
Along with the population. I definitely don't want to live in a world where even developed countries are forced back to their medieval poppulation levels. Nothing fun about being a European serf in an arid landscape.
Excellent reporting as always
This all seems like it's a cycle that comes and goes ,just hope the rain that's gonna come don't come in metres ,and not in inches
"This all seems like it's a cycle that comes and goes" There ARE natural cycles of wetter and dryer periods, but humans have disrupted those natural cycles and amplified droughts by warming the planet by 2 degrees F. THAT is the problem: Man-made global warming makes the Earth drier and less able to support life.
