Bloomberg: German water supplies will become increasingly threatened this century as climate change raises the risk of droughts and water shortages in the country. While Germany is considered water-rich, more water evaporates than falls as rain in the eastern part of the country, according to a report by a German parliamentary committee. Average temperatures may rise 3.5 degrees Celsius by 2100, resulting in more precipitation in the winter and less in the summer, the authors wrote. This will worsen the...

ThinkProgress: Large parts of the Southwest are drier than they were during the 1930s Dust Bowl. And the latest science says unrestricted carbon pollution will make this a near-permanent situation post-2050 in a growing portion of this country and around the world - for a thousand years or more! Earlier this month, the U.S. Drought Monitor warned that "devastatingly dry, dusty, windy conditions on the southern Great Plains fueled concerns of a 'New Dust Bowl`.

Business times: Northern New Zealand will experience more droughts due to a change in Southern Ocean winds. A new study by the Australian National University revealed stronger westerly winds from the ocean. The force is believed to be stronger than any time in the last 1000 years. The winds are moving southwards and were observed to be concentrating around Antarctica. Lead researcher Dr Nerilie Abram said the strong westerly winds were trapping the cool air in Antarctica which meant less rain for New Zealand...
