Dear MEL Topic Readers,
In pictures: Heatwaves, drought and wildfires
More extreme and frequent heatwaves and droughts have been seen this summer, especially in Europe. Massive wildfires near Bordeaux, a famous region for wine, 40-degree-level heatwaves and severe droughts in many parts of England, and the continuing drought in continental Europe only to name a few. As a result, the green has turned yellow and brown, the water levels of rivers, lakes, and reservoirs have gone down to the lowest on record, apples have dried up in trees, and crops have shriveled before harvest.
If such extreme weather conditions have already become normal, what the world will be like when the average temperature exceeds 1.5 degrees over pre-industrial averages?
See the photos of traces of extreme weather conditions in Europe to learn what we’ve done to our mother planet.
