Europe’s drought on course to be worst for 500 years, European Commission researcher warns
(Worthy News) – The drought scorching much of the European Union is set to be the worst endured since the sixteenth century, a senior scientist at the European Commission’s (EC) drought service has warned.
“At the moment… this seems to be the worst” year in 500 years, although a full analysis will need to happen retrospectively, said Andrea Toreti, senior researcher at the EC’s Joint Research Centre, who compiles data for the European Drought Observatory.
“We haven’t analyzed fully the event, but based on my experience, I think that this is perhaps even more extreme than in 2018,” he said, responding to a question from Sky News during a briefing. [ Source: Sky News (Read More…) ]
