Europe faces Worst Drought in 500 years, Energy and Food Shortage. Rhine may be Suspended
European Drought Observatory survey shows that the UK and 60% of EU countries are facing severe drought. The main reason is that the abnormally high temperature and the sudden drop in precipitation brought about by climate change have left many countries in a state of water shortage aggravating the drought problem. Food, energy, water conservancy transportation, and ecology are greatly affected, and the Rhine is on the verge of a crisis of suspension.
