Prolonged hot and dry weather leaves EU countries grappling with withering harvests, lowered energy production and emergency water handouts, just as the war in Ukraine prompts a spike in food and energy prices.

France's worst drought on record has left parched villages without safe drinking water, farmers warning of a milk shortage in winter and corn harvests on course to be 18.5% lower than last year.

Farmers in Tuscany, the heart of Italy's prized wine and olive oil industry, are battling to salvage as much as they can ofProfessor David Hill, former deputy chair of Natural England, said intensive farming practices have worsened droughts by making the soil less able to retain water and therefore dry out or be washed away more easily.

Water shortages reduced Italy's hydropower production, with energy potential stored in water reserves stuck at around half the level of the last few years. Water levels in reservoirs for hydropower are down in nine countries, including Serbia, Montenegro and Norway.

Keep on allowing cattle to blight the earth. 2k gallons of water / 1 lb consumable beef. Lands are cleared, wildlife displaced and murdered all for cattle. It needs to stop

Not where i am as it has been pissing down most days apart from the so called 2 day heatwave! Had 2 days warm weather in July so nothing much different from previous years! ☔️☔️☔️

Yet in Kent today I watered my garden with a hosepipe. As I will continue to do. Being exempt from hosepipe bans is brilliant.

PROPAGANDA to push the man-made climate change HOAX. How do we know it's a hoax? Because many of those pushing its agenda are definitely not known for their empathy for humanity. Why would psychopaths protect people unless it benefits them more?

Brexit! 🤷‍♂️

Not brexits fault on this occasion then?

21:00 🇹🇼Chinese People's Liberation Army sent 14 navy vessels and 66 aircraft around Taiwan as of 5 pm local time,the island's military authorities revealed on Sunday.Taiwan armed forces' airplanes conducted air patrols and used naval vessels and land-based missile systems. HATE

That’s what happens when there is little rain and the ground is hard and any rain is washed away over the hard ground because it can’t be absorbed. I also blame brexit for this, EU wouldn’t have suffered as much of UK haven’t had left….kek

So not just the U.K. and still if we have rising sea levels and we are completely surrounded by water how we can be in a drought

KARMA!
