Drought Hits Nearly Half of Europe. Experts Warn It Could be the Worst In 500 Years — Once, a river ran through it. Now, white dust and thousands of dead fish cover the wide trench that winds amid rows of trees in France’s Burgundy region in what was the Tille River in the village of Lux.
“It’s heartbreaking,” he said. “On average, about 8,000 liters per second are flowing. … And now, zero liters.” “Yes, it’s dramatic because what can we do? Nothing,” he said. “We’re waiting, hoping for storms with rain, but storms are very local so we can’t count on it.”The European Commission’s Joint Research Center warned this week that drought conditions will get worse and potentially affect 47% of the continent.
“It’s just that in summer we feel it the most,” he said. “But actually the drought builds up across the year.” “Industries that depend on inland shipping and transport on the Rhine are of course affected, as there’s less transport capacity for raw materials or finished products,” said Klein.In neighboring Hungary, wide parts of Lake Velence near Budapest have turned into patches of dried mud, beaching small boats. Aeration and water circulation equipment have been installed to protect wildlife, but water quality has deteriorated. A ban on swimming was imposed at one beach on weekends.
😬😬🤦🏼♂️
'Could' = BS
Well, if there was a bad drought 500 years ago, it indicates there’s nothing new or unusual about “climate change”.
Check again in mid September....!!!!!!!
So bad

Geographic distribution of the V1016G knockdown resistance mutation in Aedes albopictus: a warning bell for Europe - Parasites & VectorsBackground Colonization of large part of Europe by the Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus is causing autochthonous transmission of chikungunya and dengue exotic arboviruses. While pyrethroids are recommended only to reduce/limit transmission, they are widely implemented to reduce biting nuisance and to control agricultural pests, increasing the risk of insurgence of resistance mechanisms. Worryingly, pyrethroid resistance (with mortality | 70%) was recently reported in Ae. albopictus populations from Italy and Spain and associated with the V1016G point mutation in the voltage-sensitive sodium channel gene conferring knockdown resistance (kdr). Genotyping pyrethroid resistance-associated kdr mutations in field mosquito samples represents a powerful approach to detect early signs of resistance without the need for carrying out phenotypic bioassays which require availability of live mosquitoes, dedicated facilities and appropriate expertise. Methods Here we report results on the PCR-genotyping of the V1016G mutation in 2530 Ae. albopictus specimens from 69 sampling sites in 19 European countries. Results The mutation was identified in 12 sites from nine countries (with allele frequencies ranging from 1 to 8%), mostly distributed in two geographical clusters. The western cluster includes Mediterranean coastal sites from Italy, France and Malta as well as single sites from both Spain and Switzerland. The eastern cluster includes sites on both sides of the Black Sea in Bulgaria, Turkey and Georgia as well as one site from Romania. These results are consistent with genomic data showing high connectivity and close genetic relationship among West European populations and a major barrier to gene flow between West European and Balkan populations. Conclusions The results of this first effort to map kdr mutations in Ae. albopictus on a continental scale show a widespread presence of the V1016G allele in Europe, although at lower frequencies than those previously reported from

'Every day it doesn't rain, the pressure mounts'The heatwave will make conditions on England's farms worse as experts warn of smaller harvests. 'we're running out of water!!!' Yeah,thousands years of PERCOLATION say otherwise. This is PARTIAL but it's interesting when you overlay the map of the LAND USE with urban areas as you can clearly see how those BEFORE you KNEW where to get WATER. BS !!!
