Maybe this is God’s wrath for the blacks killing all the white farmers.
Keep going after Israel. That’ll bring good results, won’t it. God is in charge.
Israel offered them desalination technology to mitigate droughts and they were turned down. I have no sympathy for people who are offered assistance to help them survive and they flat out reject it.
It just means that somewhere else experienced precipitation at a level equal to the precipitation that was missed in southern Africa. The global level of evaportion and precipitation does not change radically while preciptation levels change locally and can vary greatly and differ greatly over time.
The whole of the Sahara Dessert in northern Africa was once lush and green.
I’m skipping reading the article, sure that my V8 Chevy is somehow to blame.

I remember a similar drought several years back. Zimbabwe was on the verge of starvation. Yet the Reservoirs were full but the new government had not taken advantage of it. Hard to believe this in a nation that used to produce enough food they could feed all of Africa.
Cattle dead: Sure it is drought and not the Tsetse fly? Rhodesia had a way to keep those flies out of Rhodesia. Zimbabwe, not so much.
The country was a “Cut, slash, burn” farming technology, yet could barely feed their own tribes. Then came settlement and modern farming practices and one small nation could feed all of Africa.
Now they are back to “Cut, slash, burn”, but the population is far FAR bigger than it was before settlement. No wonder they are having problems.
