Warming accelerates global drought severityGiven the recent rise and projected increase of atmospheric evaporative demand (AED) owing to anthropogenic warming, assessing its contribution to drought severity is essential for adaptation planning.
.
In Europe, the severity of the 2022 drought event can be largely attributed to anthropogenic warming, as the anomalies observed in streamflow and soil moisture cannot be explained by the precipitation deficit alone, but mostly by enhanced AED.
.
It is reasonable to conclude that anthropogenic global warming likely contributed to exacerbate global drought severity in 2022.
Nature volume 642, pages 628-635 (2025)Drivers of the extreme North Atlantic marine heat wave during 2023The multidecadal surface ocean warming is primarily because of long-term anthropogenic warming, with a possible further contribution from a trend in incoming solar radiation which is consistent with reduced shipping emissions and variations in the solar cycle, as noted in previous work
