The drought, according to The Economist
While perusing the job ads in The Economist — I think I’d make a fine general director for Doctors Without Borders, thank you very much — I stumbled upon the latest appearance of our fair state’s woes in a major publication. In its usual fashion, the anonymous author(s) ends the piece with a view into the future, and offers a subject I haven’t seen broached in news reports about the drought.
The weather forecasters aren’t offering much solace, either, predicting a warmer and drier winter than normal for the south-east. As for the longer term, the fear is that global warming will make droughts like these more common.
Complex issue. But one worth examining.
