TEHRAN (ANA)- Large swathes of Europe are currently in the midst of an unprecedented winter drought, which could impact agriculture and human consumption, and lead to problems in the warmer months.
Satellite Data Shows Sustained Severe Drought in Europe

Satellite Data Shows Sustained Severe Drought in Europe

TEHRAN (ANA)- Satellite data gathered by researchers at Graz University of Technology show that Europe lacks groundwater -- a lot of groundwater as it has already been suffering from a severe drought since 2018.
True Extent of Global Warming Hidden, Scientists Warn

True Extent of Global Warming Hidden, Scientists Warn

TEHRAN (ANA)- Increasingly tempestuous winds have been sweeping dust from Earth's deserts into our air at an increasing rate since the mid-1800s but new data provided by scientists at the University of California suggests that this uptick has masked up to eight percent of current global warming.
