The earth gets drier and warmer, and #megadroughts have been increasing for 40 years and will do so in the future. Substantial negative impacts on #water supply, #agriculture and all #ecosystem services are to be expected. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
#Megadroughts are intensifying, with drought-stricken areas expanding by 50,000 km² annually since 1980. #ClimateData #ClimateChangeEffects 🧪
🚨 #Megadroughts are increasing worldwide & becoming hotter & drier. This shrinks drinking water supply & can leads to crop failure, #FoodInsecurity, wildfire & increased mortality. This has huge ramifications for the Global South, where many millions are smallholder farmers & laborers

We used a morphological approach to identify #megadroughts globally over the past 40 years and applied plant-greenness indices to determine the impacts on vegetation. Megadroughts are increasing in frequency, area and intensity on the global scale.
Mother Nature will not be stopped. She is a woman scorned. There will be Hell to pay for all the centuries of constant abuse.
