In india, in my city we have several lakes and streams built by local rulers centuries ago for drinking and irrigation. But as a child all I saw was dried up polluted lakes used as garbage disposals. But from 2013 we saw some NGO's along with people started cleaning up the lakes and beautifying it and the government too stepped up to clean the lakes and rivers. Now even in summers the lakes don't dry up. People do fishing in it and we get some good parks and sceneries.
That part of India has a completely different climate from that of Europe and the American west-coast. It extends into the tropics and gets more monsoonal moisture.
@@SS-yj2le we usually get only 40-50 cms of rain every year just like the american west coast as we are on the leeward side

My grandmother used to say there was a very big river in a valley near my ancestral home. I never understood it. She said the spirits were angry and took away the water.
tell her it is cow farts to blame
@@vemaraju I'll tell your mom instead
Looks like France is buggered lol
Your mother lied to you there’s no such think as spirits taking anything specially water 😂🤦🏿♂️
She was correct and they are being lead by TMH God our Creator of the heaven and the earth. He has poured out the viel of judgement on the earth 🌎 APTTMHY.
The worst thing is, when the rain does return, it'll flood, not because of it's volume, but the Ground has lost it's absorption. It's now too hard and dry, like fired clay, so water will sit on the surface and barely trickle into the ground to irrigate the soil. Instead it'll sit on top like a flood. This is going to cause so much destruction.
Oh God
This is true but trust me the ground does soften and will eventually saturate further until no more water can be held. Flooding from months of rain will fill the rivers, dams and everything down stream
Yes. This just happened in Fort Worth/Dallas last week. Also, Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago.
@@daves7104 that's what they thought in the US south west. It's not turning out that way though sadly.
This is weird. I'm from Saudi Arabia and it rains only a little in the summer, but this year it started raining on a daily basis, even though the temperature is 40, but it's raining. My mother said nothing like this has happened before, and the planet seems to be changing.
When God needs to get our attention, He takes away rain, or allows floods, or other problems. The answer is REPENT OF OUR SINS AND WORSHIP JEHOVAH THE TRUE GOD.
All this happened in australia two years ago. Things were crazy for almost a year. Seasons are not same anymore.
How crazy? Climate change every now and then, don't worry
Australia supported the wrong countries. Universe karma is watching you.
And now we are in the second year of floods.
* Get ready to rule 1000 years back again on earth by repenting your sins before Lord Jesus Christ immediately.. Holy Bible says to Humans:- Today we appear and tomorrow we disappear, our life is like shadow on Earth. Holy Bible Explicitly says to Humans:- The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand, please repent from all your sins before Lord Jesus Christ, thou shalt be saved and thy family members from eternal Hell to eternal Heaven Amen.🙏🙏🙏 Please please please repent from all your secret sins before Lord Jesus Christ immediately without wasting your time to rule 1000 years again back on earth and there by to go to Eternal Kingdom of Heaven and live a very very Happy Life with God Almighty.🙏🙏🙏
What floods and droughts? Australia always has one or the other.
Here in Germany, we had one thunderstorm with five minutes of rain and then the thunder continued without rain, just lightnings without rain. It didn't really rain for months now...
Wtf ?!
😲
Soon every one will become black
USA controls the weather.......
That's drought for you
So 1200 years ago there was a drought like this in Spain. 🙄
We had steady rain for a complete month in June, then off and on the rest of the summer, very hot now for a week, we are really green here In Canada. We had a severe drought last summer but lots and lots of snow in the winter seemed to fix it.
Good to know, we are all moving to 🇨🇦 now
Don't brag Laura, that's the thing about climate change no one talks about. People will be migrating here to Canada from all over Europe and the southern hemisphere, societies will collapse
Actually, the unknown reason is Jihadis, Islamists have targeted and migrated to Europe than before..⚠️ So, God is destroying Europe now. 🤷♂️Natural..😅 Sorry for Europeans.
Ya we had rain as well, but not enough. We will have hot stretches now that will dry everything out. Our hear wave didn't start till later in the summer ... and as I always say, "the seasons are moving. Summer starts later and ends later." I bet this year we will still be swimming in mountain lakes till the end of Sept and maybe into Oct. ... ours is starting later. We will see it, but it will be after the others.
@@christinesmith1499 People are already migrating to Canada. Mostly not from Europe though.

And everyone is still too scared to acknowledge that animal agriculture is one of the leading contributions to climate change. If you want something to be done about climate change, stop consuming animal products. This is the one thing that people have the most control over.
The one leading factor is.... overpopulation! Produce less humans!
@@LordPinky455 My response to those arguments: Humans only show significant carbon usage due to human interaction in society: farming, travel, electricity, hydro, shopping, ETC. Remove all of that (humans living in wilderness) and there is not a significant contribution. The issue is not the population, it's individual's actions.
@@mrlloydval2887 what wilderness are you talking about... humans have desroyed it all, hence my statement!
This channel gives the most realistic and honest news to the world!
Palki is the best anchor on WION, but there are a few good presenters. I certainly don't agree with Palki's views, but at least she isn't afraid to speak her mind!
. . . this is alarmism, not news, but I agree the channel sometimes bring up stuff that msm don't want to touch. And they have often a different angle on it than msm
The beginning of sorrows where drought is one of the example of natural calamities that is raging all countries not only in europe. Econamies are devastated . What a bleak future beholds. What can we do about it?
whilst this is really sad news, kudos to palki and the wion team for bringing this calamity to light. as citizens of the world, we all must rally behind the wion team and the european union to remedy this malady before things get worse. we need everyone to step forward. solutions can emerge from anyone, anywhere as we have always seen in the history of human evolution
@@sharoncombs58 Proud to see an WIOIN an Indian news channel reaching out to the world of news with facts and figure, which the west would not appreciate.
Europes problems are the worlds problems! But the worlds problems are not europes problems??? This is a perfect example!
Well, Europe is being shafted by multiple issues. Droughts, wildfires, heatwave, plus the Russia-Ukraine war. Now, no water and dried-up rivers to boot. Putin must be smirking these days. He doesn't need to invade Europe, as Europe is being screwed. And Uncle Sam can't do anything to give them water and good weather.
I think the whole world is talking about this now to make people realise how real and dangerous climate change is. Europe is known for being a place where temperatures in the summer rarely surpass the 40° mark except in the south but as you can see this year has been so warm with almost no rainfalls not even In the winter or autumn that these big rivers are drying out. I don't think the huge media coverage of this topic has anything to do with Europe more with this issue that the whole world has to face sooner or later.
That is a lie, and facts and the mutual cooperation proves you are very wrong. Have you already forget the planes one after another when the COVID pandemic?
There isn’t any cooperation. Probably the headline in a few months will be how Europe’s freezing its balls off in the winter without Russian Gas.
Simply they never care about outside Europe and we also not care about them
Her response is priceless 🤣 I love it. This is true journalism, reporting real life situations and not distractions
2018 was far worse than now, strange how easily people forget things these days🤔

Just reading the title of the video shows there was a drought 500 years ago that was as severe as this one. What caused the drought 500 years ago?
I have loved Europe since I was a child, because the climate is so good there, because everyone worships the living God there. But for the last 5 years I have heard that there is a cramming of dolls, and this is the result. I was very saddened to see the Hindu Gods being paraded together in Germany. Do you know why India lives so peacefully and coolly now, because there are more and more worshipers of the living God
It has something to do with the tampora volcanic activity. There was even a little ice age 500 years ago
@@rahulr5678 exactly. It’s not man made climate change
@@rahulr5678 the volcanic eruption that covered Europe in darkness for decades?
Since 500 years: It Means since written records began... Europe widely adopted paper and book technology in about 1520, we don't know if there was a drought previous to that, so it sais since 500 years, since industrialization of book-keeping in the 1500ds.
It would be helpful to show a progression of pictures through the years to see if there is a pattern of drying up over time. A single shot of a river, which will run dry or drier during a drought does not establish a pattern.
But that would reveal the truth!
There is not.
In Latvia it rains twice/3 times a week, i didn't even know there was a drought
I know barely anyone will read this but I miss dearly miss our Prunus padus here in Sweden. They all died in the last dry-year just a handful of years ago... My grandmother always told us her favourite time of the year was always spring "In between Prunus and Lilac". Now that's gone.
I read your story. Thanks for sharing that.
I'm sorry to hear that. If anyone has seeds you can try to replant in better times. Try contact your historic seed saving agencies. Most countries have them. Best wishes.
What are you talking about? They didn't die out. We have huge Prunus Padus (hägg) outside my building. Picked a bunch this spring and made my apartment smell lovely.
Well sahara misses its forest too. // Sweden
It is a pity. Spring is not quite spring without it. Perhaps people could plant back a few seedlings where the tree used to be so it will grow in a few years?
I live in Northern Minnesota in the USA. It is one of the most water rich regions of the country and even we had a drought last summer. The Mississippi River was flowing unusually low in some areas for awhile
Too many golf courses to water? More population using more water? Ever thought of that?

That is quite a stupid point of view, at least a romantic - ego centric - one, as there is nothing like "mother nature". Nature simply is. It simply does not take revenge. It is simply changed by human beings into an environment in which exactly these human beings can not survive. There is no higher being like "mother earth" that punishes humans. Your idea is much too comforting as it implies some kind of higher justice and thus hope. No, we become extinct because of our own stupidity - congrats, we receive the Darwin Award. Pure sarcasm. Even worse, we take other species into the abyss with us. We change and destroy and afterwards life will go on without us. End of story.... for humans.

@@DM-lf9yy I did educate myself and realized that the past disasters will inevitably become future ones.
This story is bleak but as I scrolled through the comments from brothers and sisters across this planet, expressing their own local issues, concerns and triumphs for environmental protection....I though...how BEAUTIFUL we are and if we can fight to come TOGETHER despite all the obstacles seperating us...we can fix this and SO much more. What do you think?
If people try and fix the problems of this world WITHOUT God, they will continue to make a mess of it, because there will continue to be jealousy, and envy, bitterness and self preservation, personal interests at the expense of others, hatred and unforgiveness, etc. It is things like these that we destroy ourselves with. The greater problem is the condition of the human heart; the condition of this planet called earth is only a symptom of the real cause, which is mankind's sin ladened heart. Until this is dealt with there will be no lasting solution. One day the world will come together to claim to solve earth's problems. The rulers of earth will accept a man who claims to have supernatural power and wisdom to fix everything; they will believe him. But he will bring the world under his diabolical rule. His rule will last for 7 years. The Book of Revelation speaks about this as do other parts of the Bible. This man will be charming but cruel; he will be like the grandfather of all dictators, but will win world leaders by charm and deception.. Don't obey him. To do so you will save your skin but lose your soul. The only Hope for this world in Jesus Christ, our Creator and Saviour. He cares for us but doesn't force Himself upon us. Each person must choose to follow or reject Him. John 3:16-18. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Jesus. John 14:6. There is something way better in store for those who put their trust in Jesus; WAY BETTER.
to be honest I think we are the cause of this problem in the first place, and it does not look like it is getting better, quite the opposite. It may seem pessimistic but I dont think that we will get this problem under control in time. Our stupidity and selfishness will be our downfall
That's a utopian thought. Governements prefer war instead.
@@vipahman Governments are composed of individuals; individuals who are all committed to one thing or another. These individuals all have a heart and soul, which is either driven by selflessness, or selflishness; each one is either committed to God their Creator, or themselves as "god". Jesus said, out of the heart proceeds all kinds of evil. And unless the heart of man is cured by the Healer of the human heart and its condition, Jesus Christ, that human heart will continue to work out its bitterness, selfishness, hatred, lies, covetousness - greed, violence, self praise, and self seeking, etc. Jesus came to fix this human condition, but unless a man's pride is broken, his reply will be "Stuff you". Pride always comes before a fall. And mankind is heading toward his biggest fall. Jesus Christ is our only Hope. Men will either discover it early, or too late.
There is nothing to “fight”. It is too late. There is a 10,000 years lifecycle for carbon in the atmosphere
Europe and west have a habit of first experiencing the worst situations before taking actions. They are not convinced about anything until they face the same. Africa and Asia have been shouting about climate change and it's consequences for years now. Hopefully now they will move.

Yes that is very true Mrs Sharma. Over here in Belgium too the heat is continuing as we speak. The weather forecast for this weekend says temperatures will be rising around 35 degrees Celsius.

Burn cardboard boxes, they burn hot. If you can't get wood.
@@theCosmicQueen I was indeed thinking about putting an extra heating element. Thank you for the information.
Lord God is imposing sanctions on western Europe
So if this is the biggest drought in 1200 years, she is saying we beat climate change in the past and we are now at war with it again lol.
Thing is… banning plastics won’t fix this emergency.
You said it right, ITS BIBLICAL PROPORTION.. Those who have ears , let them hear.
Exactly! The majority of folks are blind and deaf. GOD BLESS you.
Water is life and dwindling to a trickle! Many people will realize eventually how precious water is than any precious metals when it’s absolutely too late. Thanks WION for keeping us abreast on important and critical news event.
What? Well, then, we need to make missiles to extract the water from the ground. 🥳🥳🥳!
Agreed in the next few years you will start to see major Wars with countries fighting over water rights
Only Jesus christ can change this ,he is life
Wouldnt happen if they stopped selling water to coca cola and china! There is no climate change, its factual name is (seasonal weather), there are 4 every year stupid
THIS IS GOD'S JUDGMENT. REPENT AND TURN TO JESUS NOW! HE IS NOT HAPPY. STOP BEING PRIDEFUL. THIS IS GOD TRYING TO TELL US ALL TO STOP SINNING!
I think this is a good news source. I will keep watching it.
Could it not be down to people useing more water and that big companies are useing more and more water
Here in the Philippines rainfalls everyday and rise of water 💦 is normal in every streets. If we can only share this to the world to avoid flooding
Try exporting your rain clouds, put them in a jar and send them to Europe. 😁
No water, no energy, fires and war, our prayers go out to the people of Europe.
dont worry people are good at breedings
The war is the only distress. They don't manage forests and don't graze the grass. There are millions of wind turbines to make electricity.
Remember - no water means no crops means no food...
@Optimus Phoenix Prime Yep! This is way more serious than people realize. 100 villages and towns in France have zero water and it has to be trucked in.
@Optimus Phoenix Prime I agree on all counts! I think people need to realize that these are real serious issues at stake, but like you say, the answers is not that easy.
Where did all the water go????
Is there any news from the Country Gravitas is from ?
So the driest in 1200 years. Then back 1200 years ago the CO2 levels must have been even higher than now if it was actually dryer then. Interesting how that works.
Sock it to them, Maria! 👍👍👍
I was thinking the same thing 🤔
I live in Belgium and the rivers are little lower due to the rain that was not here but i'm sure the rain is on its way now they say there will be rainstorms so nature always comes back to normal. I must say that the corn, potato's and others still do well but sure need some rain now !!
Your an amazing reporter I love this channel it's very transparent!
I was in Europe in summer 1991 and it was hot and sonny in London and Amsterdam.
The more tree who die, the less oxygen you will have, and the hotter the temps will be because there will not be leaf coverage to cover over the height of human habitation to reduce temperatures. You must remember that unlike trees, man-made objects, like human-sized objects to buildings absorb solar energy and release it as heat into the air. It is not just the gases from combustion and the heat from hot motors (petroleum and HVAC motors), but ALSO the heat radiating characteristic of man-made objects that raise the temperature of the air. A great example of this are heated-oil radiators we used to have in schools. Remember how cold the room was when the heater was turned on for the first time in the fall? How hot did it get when the desired temperature was reached? Whatever type of heat energy it absorbs, it will radiate it. THAT is what is happening right now. You will probably have to disassemble and destroy a lot of heat radiating technologies such as cars, trucks, metal buildings, and other buildings, AND the blacktop/sidewalk surfaces, and put trees back in those places in order to bring temperatures down. Trees attract rainfall activity, deserts repel it.
Perhaps you might have a word with bill Gates, and ask him to stop spraying chemicals across our skies.
@@petermurphy1696 He's not going to listen...
or just keep buildings lower, made of other materials and plant a lot more trees. And get out of cities, back to small farms, villages etc.
Meanwhile it has been raining here in Nigeria daily
Honestly!
Fortunately, there is still rain on earth.
This is really sad. 8,000,000,000 habitants. There is not enough resources in the planet. What could be the solution?!
Wth we've had a thunderstorm with heavy rain just few days ago in loznica serbia but it is hot today, it is summer after all, isn't it?
“Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money.” ― Cree Indian Prophecy
A river I used to swim in as kid was just about tried up 15 years ago but now it’s back to the way it was when I was a child hopefully the same thing happens in Europe.
Hopefully, but unlikely. This crisis is only going to exacerbate. I read an article 2 years ago that the increase in temperatures has also made some lakes uninhabitable for aquatic life in other parts of the world. The article I read focused on the US where a couple bought property in the forest they owned for years and had regularly used the nearby lake for family activities. That lake has since grown a strange algae, that scientists say is because of the increased heat in the area because of climate change. The algae killed all fish in that lake because it is toxic, changed the lake’s colour and isn’t also safe for regular use by people. The truth is that the fossil fuel industry has had at least 75 years (that we know about) to steer humanity on a different course and spare everyone all this suffering and pain, but they preferred profits and now we are out of time. Weather changes are not the only thing to expect from climate change, it will create pandemics also as it offsets ecological order. I remember growing up we used to have lovely mild “Sandstorms” with lots of sun in the August in our area. Those are gone too. Just massive heat.
@@shadrackchabedi3447 okay but like what about when this happened 500 years ago Lmao
@@shadrackchabedi3447 Fossil fuels have improved the lives of billions. Cheap energy has made the middle class a possibility. Transportation has made cities far removed from farmland a reality. Many non-energy products use petroleum distillates in their formulations. Humanity as we know it is possible because of the advantages of oil and gas. You want to live in a spartan hut with no heat, electricity or AC and eat bugs? Knock yourself out. The elites have zero intention of cutting back their consumption at any point. They still fly around the world on private jets and scoop up beachfront properties, living in huge mansions and riding in large SUVs. When all the Hollywood and billionaire set start acting like they believe the nonsense they are putting on us then I might listen again.
@@shadrackchabedi3447 same thing happened in Spain with an algae....in Mar Menor ( a brench of Mediteranean sea), killing fish and water life. Now is going ok, regenerates little by little.
Ma in Europa non c'è nessuna siccità è un falsa notizia
Politicians will then gather and talk and talk and talk ...as usual..it's just sad
The danube,my homelands most known river,seing like this breaks my heart
It's good you said biblical proportions, The more people will reject Jesus the more suffering especially for those who once knew the faith and decided to abandone ,this is just the beginning of birth pains worse is yet to come.
Worse is yet to come for disregarding Jesus,the source of all life.
Once the Euphrates dries up, which it almost is: “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. “And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs.” Revelation 16:12-13 ESV
May Jesus’ Peace be among you! God bless you and yours
Who is he?🤔
@@sahashranshubarik9204 Saviour of the world, you can read all about how he can do that in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
I am from Malaysia and this happen here as well. There was this waterfall that I used to go when I was a boy. Recently I visited the same waterfall (Ulu Chepoh waterfall ) and the water have dried out . It was closed and was no longer a picnic destination .
so, what happened upstream? might want to find out.
That’s scary!
@@theCosmicQueen Definitely deforestation.
Anno deviato il corso
Where is that place?ipoh city?
RIP , mother 🌍 , it has been nice
Why not just set up a inter continental tube? Whoever have no water, turn on the tap tube
You never mention geoengineering that causes the drought. It's not CO2 emissions but it's 30 plus years of spraying aluminum and other particles into the atmosphere.
It can't be overstated how important those rivers are for inland trade and transport. A few years ago, a similar situation led to gas shortages here in Germany. With the gradual loss of ice in the Alps, which is crucial for the natural water cycle, this situation will only get worse.
It may sound ridiculous, but how about considering sea water recycling? Most Middle East countries are doing just that. The water may not have the same taste and quality, but it's better in such emergencies
@@gcj7771 You mean desalination? It's ridiculously expensive and most likely economically not feasiable for extremely water intensive/low value industries such as agriculture, dairy and meat production. Assuming water use is 100% covered by desalination to make the math easier: Considering that 1 Kg of beef takes 15,000 liters of water and the lowest estimates for desalinated water being 0,6-1USD per 1,000 liters, you can assume to pay at a minimum ~$10 more for it, just for the cost of the water alone. Producing 1 Kg of wheat costs $6.5 per bushel or ~$0.26/Kg and takes around 1,500 liters, which means a pice increase of $1/Kg or a factor of 5x. For countries that have at least some water and regular rainfall, which is the case in most of Europe, water storage and better use of treated water is a way cheaper option. Currently we're dumping treated water back into the rivers, despite it being of drinking quality.
@@Sundara229 Well dying of thirst versus desalination, hmm what to do?
@@JB-yb4wn Your point?
@@Sundara229 If this trend continues, then you are limited in your options. The Spanish have already realized this and have already been using desalination plants for a while.
I live in the Netherlands but I did not hear that at all.
We need civil engineering to make an underground reservoir to decrease evaporation of clean water from record high temperature.
Im loving it. All going as predicted.

We have been burning wood and coal for thousands of years but soon as we pumping oil out of the ground causing cavities where water goes away from Rivers and lake's they dry up causing hotter and drier weather and can lead to superstorms
