Episode 91 - Drought
Entire societies have collapsed due to insufficient access to water - as a matter of fact, drought is perhaps the #1 reason for civilizational collapse in the past. Many parts of the world are currently experiencing the worst drought conditions since records began - and it's only going to get worse with climate change. This episode explores the dangers of drought, why it will continue to get worse, and what we can expect for the future. https://www.ppic.org/publication/what-if-californias-drought-continues/#:~:text=Consequences%20include%20sinking%20lands%2C%20higher,these%20symptoms%20of%20chronic%20overdraft. https://drought.unl.edu/Education/DroughtforKids/DroughtEffects.aspx https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/drought/implications.htm#:~:text=Drought%20can%20also%20cause%20long,mosquitoes%20breeding%20in%20stagnant%20water https://www.newsweek.com/arsenic-laced-dust-drought-ridden-great-salt-lake-risk-water-level-drops-1613165 https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2021-07-16/drought-water-use-strategies https://spei.csic.es/map/maps.html#months=5#month=4#year=2022 https://www.drought.gov/international https://www.c2es.org/content/drought-and-climate-change/#:~:text=How%20climate%20change%20contributes%20to,the%20timing%20of%20water%20availability. https://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/ten-civilizations-or-nations-that-collapsed-from-drought.html https://youtu.be/NUiXzDkK5ms https://youtu.be/vEAFzgsRQs8 https://youtu.be/PJRDlVnWeHw https://youtu.be/qvf5zL8trjA Support the show Please join us on Patreon for weekly bonus content and to join our Discord community.
