The European "Hunger Stone" reappeared in the world. Was the last time it appeared more than 600 years ago, when the drought came?
With the continuous extreme dryness and heat in Europe since the beginning of summer this year, many "hunger stones" have appeared in the constantly dry and dry beds. Each stone is engraved with the same sentence: See me, you will start. cry! It is reported that these "Hunger Stones" were born in the Middle Ages in Europe. At that time, many people who made a living by shipping would mark the low water level on the riverside or on the exposed large stones in the center of the river. If these marks are not visible, it means that the weather is good, and there is no need to worry about the problem of drought. If they all surface, it means that extreme drought is coming. Researchers from the Czech Republic said that these "stones of hunger" are warnings to future generations, reminding everyone to pay attention to the problems of food production reduction and food shortage, because people at that time have experienced it more than 600 years ago.
So, is Europe really heading for an 'extreme drought'?
This year's Europe, not only has a large number of dry riverbeds, but also the soil that has begun to harden and crack, and the forests that continue to burn. Because of the lack of rainfall, these have plunged Europe into a "hot". Speaking of which, in previous summers, although Europe was also hot, it was far less difficult than this year. For example, Western Europe, which has a temperate oceanic climate, under normal circumstances, it is difficult to exceed 30 degrees Celsius in the hottest summer. However, this year, Western European countries generally started from July, with high temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius. This also makes Western Europeans who have long been accustomed to "cool summer" simply cannot bear such extreme heat, so the number of hospital admissions or deaths due to high temperature continues to increase. According to the European Drought Observatory website, more than 63% of the European Union and the United Kingdom have issued drought warnings, and the European Commission has also issued a warning that the drought situation in Europe is getting worse. For example, Italy is currently experiencing the most serious "water shortage crisis" in 70 years, because the rivers in the country are about to dry up, which has also caused many ships and "hunger stones" that sank at the bottom of the river many years ago. Same, resurfaced. There is also the United Kingdom, which is experiencing the driest period since 1935. Because the summer heat has dried up the pastures, farmers have to take out the forage stored for winter to feed the animals in advance. When it comes, what should we do? There is also the problem of depletion of agricultural water, which means that in Europe, which is already very dependent on food imports, agriculture will also be severely impacted. Coupled with the ongoing energy crisis this year, people's lives will further deteriorate. Some researchers predict that this may be the worst drought that Europe has experienced in the past 500 years. If this is the case, then this will be a "wake-up call" for all mankind.The earth is sounding the alarm again, and human beings are facing more and more problems
The drought in Europe is not an exception. More than 20 provinces have been experiencing high temperature and drought for more than a month, especially from the seasonal point of view, now is the final stage of the formation of autumn crop yields, and it is also the most critical period. Therefore, Chinese experts also pointed out that it is necessary to do a good job. Drought prevention work to prevent high temperature and drought from affecting this year's grain harvest. The same situation is also happening in the United States. According to CNN, more than 70% of the western United States has been dry for a long time, and nearly 300,000 square miles of land has even reached the level of "extreme drought". The WHO said that the root cause of all this is that human activities have seriously affected climate change, making extreme weather more and more common, so all kinds of natural disasters are more likely to occur. This is a very big warning for all mankind, reminding all countries to find a way to take effective measures to slow down the speed of global warming, otherwise, there will be more and more problems that mankind will face in the future. For example, droughts will reduce food production, which will exacerbate the global food crisis and increase the number of hungry people in the world. In addition, the temperature is getting higher and the glaciers are melting faster and faster, which will lead to rising sea levels. A large number of human homes have been submerged. As a result, the area of land available to humans will continue to shrink and resource problems will become more serious. There are also some neglected, but need to pay attention to: thawing permafrost will release ancient bacteria, once it flows into nature, all human beings may be threatened, and even in the worst case, it may make human civilization too late After leaving the earth, the stop button was pressed. It can be said that the extreme weather this year will not be the worst. If human beings do not want to prevent this, they will inevitably face more severe high temperatures and more extreme natural disasters in the future.
