Global super drought predicted by 2030

Global super drought predicted by 2030


A new study by National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) indicates a pattern of global drought in some of the world’s most densely populated areas.
Most significantly, the US, Australia, Canada, and even Europe, major food producers, are predicted to be hit severely.
The study was undertaken using an “ensemble” of 22 computer models and previous global studies. Even if this study is partly right, it predicts major changes in food production and quality of life.
This may not be “An Inconvenient Truth”, but it’s definitely “An Inconvenient Possibility” by any measure. All of the world’s major food production areas are predicted to be seriously affected. The world’s new food bowls, ironically, are looking like Siberia, Alaska, northern Canada and India, which will become more moist by the mid to end of the century.
