The world lacks water due to global warming

Global warming will reduce glaciers and snow around the world, causing water shortages and other problems affecting millions of people, warns American scientists.

The decline of glaciers will cause water shortages and other problems affecting millions of people around the world

Greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activities along with climate change cause global warming to significantly affect areas dependent on snow and ice, resulting in increased water prices. and this resource monitoring system, researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography said.

According to Tim Barnett, lead author of a report published in Nature, water shortages will occur in reservoir areas that are unable to store rainfall or snow on an annual basis, for example. in California state of America.

In Canada, lack of water earlier in spring threatens agricultural production. In Europe, the warm climate in the Rhine basin can reduce the water needed for industrial applications, agriculture and family life. Transport by river, flood prevention, generation of hydrogen energy and income from skiing are all threatened, Barnett said.

Researchers warn that water-dependent areas of glaciers may be severely affected within the next few decades. These areas include India, China, other parts of Asia .

According to the report, Peru's glaciers have fallen by 25% in the past three decades, and some glaciers may disappear forever in the next few decades or sooner.
