The death toll of elephants in Zimbabwe has risen to 200. Why is southern Africa getting drier and drier?

Zimbabwe suffered the worst drought in history, and elephants died because of extreme water shortage. The drought in southern Africa is actually due to global warming. Southern Africa has been in this harsh climate environment, and Zimbabwe suffered a similar drought not long ago.

Before extreme weather, southern Africa may be affected by El Nino.

Zimbabwe, located in southern Africa, has been plagued by the El Ni? o phenomenon. One of the most obvious signs of El Nino phenomenon is the anomaly of seawater temperature, which refers to the abnormal change of seawater temperature in tropical oceans in the eastern and central Pacific Ocean.

We should know that the climate itself has a butterfly effect, and the occurrence of El Nino phenomenon will change the climate of the whole earth. At this time, there will be some extreme weather conditions, such as a lot of abnormal precipitation in one place and endless drought in another.

In addition to the El Ni? o effect, global warming is also the cause of drought in Zimbabwe.

According to relevant climate studies, it can be found that even if there is no El Ni? o phenomenon in Zimbabwe, the climate in this region is still abnormal. This is because under the influence of global greenhouse effect, Zimbabwe will also have such extreme weather conditions.

The death of a large number of animals in Zimbabwe this time is a signal. Of course, global warming only aggravates the degree of drought, but in fact, even under normal climatic conditions, such extreme weather will occur. After all, the climate is not subject to any constraints and changes.

With regard to the drought in Zimbabwe, we must pay attention to it now. Only when the next rainy season comes will Zimbabwe have a chance to revive.
