Extreme Weather Events: Droughts Around the World, Part 3 of 316:36Extreme Weather Events: Droughts Around the World, Part 3 of 3Today we’ll explore more about drought-induced conditions, this time in Asia and Australia. More than 66 million Southeast Asians have had their lives disrupted by drought in the past three decades. Severe drought and the construction of dams have driven the Mekong River to its lowest level in 100 years, endangering food supplies for tens of millions of people. In East Asia, a severe drought is plПланетата Земя: нашият любящ дом2020-07-27 1352 Преглед8396p720p720pHQ2020-07-27Планетата Земя: нашият любящ дом Extreme Weather Events: Droughts Around the World, Part 2 of 314:11Extreme Weather Events: Droughts Around the World, Part 2 of 3On today’s show, we’ll explore the severe drought conditions that are affecting Africa and Europe. Home to the Sahara, the world’s largest hot desert, North Africa is one of the driest regions on Earth, where it's common to have no rainfall for more than a year in some places. However, for many years climate change has increased the lack of rain and abnormally hot weather across East Africa, SouthПланетата Земя: нашият любящ дом2020-07-20 1344 Преглед11396p720p720pHQ2020-07-20Планетата Земя: нашият любящ дом Extreme Weather Events: Droughts Around the World, Part 1 of 313:16Extreme Weather Events: Droughts Around the World, Part 1 of 3As the world warms, Earth’s climate has been undergoing intense heat waves caused by the increased chance of extremely hot days and nights. Warming air also boosts the evaporation of surface water, thus worsening the effects of droughts. More droughts create dry fields and forests that are prone to catching fire, so increased global temperatures mean longer wildfire seasons around the world.

Currently, over 72 billion land animals are slaughtered for human consumption every year. And what’s even more troubling is that many of these animals were raised on factory farms. For years, world health experts have warned about the dangers of factory farms as uncontrolled sources of new viruses.

The virus, it was reported, was highly contagious. The World Health Organization named it “coronavirus disease,” or “COVID-19.” COVID-19 proved to be extremely contagious and spread like wildfire through China’s massive population.

For the past 50 years, the ocean has been absorbing 90% of all the heat generated by global warming.

In June and July 2019, temperatures in Siberia soared to 30 degrees Celsius. September 2019, it is estimated that more than 13 million hectares of Siberian forest had burned, an area lager than Greece.

In 2017 and 2018, Californians suffered through the deadliest and most destructive wildfires in recorded history. The smoke they produced caused high levels of pollution and extremely unhealthy air for millions of citizens. Countless wild animals lost their forest homes.

The first of these themes involves the preservation of our world’s forests, as well as other land-based carbon-absorbing “sinks,” such as wetlands and grasslands.
