A three-year drought that has left millions of people in Syria, Iraq and Iran with little water wouldn’t have happened without human-caused climate change, a new study found.
The west Asian drought, which started in July 2020, is mostly because hotter-than-normal temperatures are evaporating the little rainfall that fell, according to a flash study Wednesday by a team of international climate scientists at World Weather Attribution.
It’s a case of climate change unnaturally intensifying naturally dry conditions into a humanitarian crisis that has left people thirsty, hungry and displaced, concluded the research, which has not yet undergone peer review but follows scientifically valid techniques to look for the fingerprints of global warming.
The team looked at temperatures, rainfall and moisture levels and compared what happened in the last three years to multiple computer simulations of the conditions in a world without human-caused climate change.
“Human-caused global climate change is already making life considerably harder for tens of millions of people in West Asia,” said study co-author Mohammed Rahimi, a professor of climatology at Semnan University in Iran. “With every degree of warming Syria, Iraq and Iran will become even harder places to live.”

Last I heard, droughts were a sign of a cooling climate. A long time ago, the Sahara was quite green. That was when the world was hotter. Since we are still in an Ice Age, a lot of water is locked in ice at the poles. Which is why we have more droughts.
ABC News / Disney are stuck in Never-Never Land.
And just who is World Weather Attribution who produces such propaganda???
Damn it, Jim, It’s a desert, not a rainforest”
Anyone who signed on to this “study” should be ostracized and banned from research.
Elijah would not agree...............
Disney doesn’t need to look very hard to see why they are failing and swirling the bowl...
Dizzknee snooze outlet. 🖕. Climate emergency is as real as being able to change your gender. So, there is that.
🙏🇺🇸🇮🇱👍
There has never been a desert there before.
Bwahahahaha. So, the study found out that it’s dry in the desert. Bwahahahaha.
Prove it is caused by people!
They cannot. It is well documented that overall recorded temperatures have gone up 1.5 degrees C over 140 years or so, but the cause has not been proven at all.
This is not catastrophic and has happened many times throughout recorded history and prehistory as proved in scientific methods (tree rings, ice core samples, etc).
Moreover, well calibrated and accurate thermometers are a very recent thing.
I'm not sick of science. I'm very sick of nonsense being misinterpreted as science!
Neither would Ezekiel…
Are we supposed to be ignorant that western Asia has been among the biggest producers of oil and natural gas?
Why didn’t they invest some of their fossil fuel profits in water management systems, to include desalinization?
Funny, isn’t it, that drought hit these Arab nations, but not Israel? Those Jews, they get all the breaks.
Why is it that Israel with no oil or natural gas until the recent discoveries in the eastern Med, has invested in water management systems, and not the Arabs?
Now the Jews have water AND profits from fossil fuel. You can see why they’re hated so much.
It’s like Rula Lenska. Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful.
Climate change and illegal immigration. There will be multiple serious terrorist attacks in the US before either of Obama’s waterfront mansions are flooded.
The Sahara used to be green, and then it wasn’t.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Maybe, just maybe, if the koranimals would quit using goats to eat every plant down to the bare ground all over North Africa and the Middle East they might not live in a sandbox.
They chose sex with goats over a decent place to live.
