Climate change intensifying Sicily, Sardinia droughts: study

A study by the World Weather Attribution group reveals that climate change is intensifying droughts in Sicily and Sardinia, making them 1.5 times more likely to occur. Both Italian islands have experienced exceptionally low rainfall and persistent high temperatures over the past year, leading to severe water shortages and agricultural losses. The study concludes that human-induced climate change is primarily driving this increase in drought severity through rising temperatures. Researchers call for improved water management to mitigate future drought impacts.READ FULL
