Through this summer (2022), severe drought is being experienced across much of Europe, North and Central America, China, and many other regions.
Some of this of course is making
existing problems worse. The Colorado River was in crisis long before this summer (for many years). The Mekong River which emerges in Tibet, and flows through China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Viet Nam, has been in trouble for years due to a major series of dams in China.
Regional droughts are nothing new however the scale of the current crisis is historic and mostly due to climate change.
