Drought that stretched across three continents this summer — drying out large parts of Europe, the United States and China — was made 20 times more likely by climate change, according to a new study.
Researchers from World Weather Attribution, a group of scientists from around the world who study the link between extreme weather and climate change, say this type of drought would only happen once every 400 years across the Northern Hemisphere if not for human-caused climate change. Now they expect these conditions to repeat every 20 years, given how much the climate has warmed.
To figure out the influence of climate change on drying in the Northern Hemisphere, scientists analyzed weather data, computer simulations and soil moisture throughout the regions, excluding tropical areas. They found that climate change made dry soil conditions much more likely over the last several months.
This analysis was done using the warming the climate has already experienced so far, 1.2 degrees Celsius (2.2 degrees Fahrenheit), but climate scientists have warned the climate will get warmer, and the authors of the study accounted for that.
With an additional 0.8 degrees C degrees warming, this type of drought will happen once every 10 years in western Central Europe and every year throughout the Northern Hemisphere, said Dominik Schumacher, a climate scientist at ETH Zurich, a university in Switzerland.

Ah hindsight.....
So We need 20 times bigger government, and pay 20 times more taxes. Science says.
I get SO tired of this same, tired song.
Will SOMEBODY put a new nickel in the damn enviro-jukeboxx?
It makes my HAIR HURT!!
One of the biggest failures of Mankind is his “Pride”.
You people actually think you are more important than you really are.
Y’all deserve to die.
I won’t miss you Democrats.
and then the days get shorter
and, shudder, all the leaves fall off the trees
all caused by climate change
AND next will be “Climate change made deluge 20 times more likely.” Climate change causes EVERYTHING...
MORE PROPAGANDA. Maybe they should claim it’s RUSSIA’S FAULT and start beating the war drums to bring along the WEAK-OF-WIT and easily fooled crowd,
That’s exactly what these rat bastards want.
> Now they expect these conditions to repeat every 20 years <
I’m extremely leery of any study that produces nice, round numbers like that.
What caused the massive drought and extreme high temperatures in the Dirty Thirties? My mother remembered temperatures well over 100 for weeks on end during the summer of 1934. My father talked about dust storms in the 1930s so severe it became like night and the street lights came on at noon.
BS. “Drought” is an agricultural term.
El Nino / La Nina are non-anthropogenic phenomena that puny humans cannot control.
Scientists who don’t support man caused climate change get canceled. That’s what the left calls science.
The Associated Presstitutes has made everyone that reads them Stupid, and they should all be exiled to Venezuela
The oceans sequester more CO2 than any other CO2 sink.
The colder the oceans get, the more CO2 they can absorb.
When the oceans get warmer, they expel CO2
You can see the yearly fluctuation in the Mauna Loa graph as the Pacific Ocean warms and cools with the seasons.
20 times bigger government x 20 times bigger taxes = 400 times better off.
Sign me up!!
Droughts are as natural as sunshine and clouds, and some have lasted a thousand years. Rather than arguing about what causes droughts, we should be preparing for the worst.
Wether Attribution is a known fraud. Typical that only the flunkies at AP still give them space.
Soon, the soft, deep low friction coating will be on the hills.
Good Times.
