IMG_4520_beast of burden.jpg China is in the middle of the worst drought in 50 years. Precipitation totals have fallen significantly across most of China's northern provinces. 60% of China's 669 major cities face water shortages, of these 110 face serious water shortages. Climate change modelling shows that Northern China is going to get significantly drier leading to crop failure and desertification which is already happening in many places. Inner Mongolia has been particularly badly hit with ever drier conditions and creeping desertification. Near Dongsheng an area known as Hong Hai Zai used to be a large lake. Its waters used to harbour many fish, caught and sold at market by the locals. It finally dried up completely in 1999, leaving a baked landscape on which a few hardy plants now grow. This mongolian man leads his camel across what was the former lake bed.

IMG_2153_dried out.jpg Grass on a lawn brown and dried up due to the drought in Cumbria, which has had only 50% of average rainfall since December 2009. It seems ironic that we are now in a drought only 6 months after the worst ever floods to hit Cumbria. Computer modelling of how the weather and climate will change predicts exactly this, for the NW UK, that we wil get periods of excessive rainfall, followed by periods of drought. Whilst the rainfall totals for the year may remain similar, its distribution throughout the year will alter markedly, with far greater peaks and troughs.

IMG_2172_drought.jpg Scorched dried out land near Bonnie Doon in Victoria, Australia which is in the grip of an unprecedented severe drought. Such droughts are becoming a more common occurence due to climate change. Stocking rates on many farms in Victoria and New South Wales have plumetted as the parched land can no longer support the number of farm animals that they used to. Insome places farmers have had to give up completely.

IMG_9247_flood restoration.jpg On Thursday 19th November 2009 over 31cm of rain fell in 24 hours on the Cumbrian mountains. The single largest rainfall total in the British Isles since records began. It caused unprecedented flooding, with Cockermouth being particularly badly hit after both the Cocker and Derwent burst their banks. The main street was 5 feet underwater and £millions worth of damage was caused. Many residents will not only be out of their houses over Christmas but it could be up to a year before some return. This shots shows a shop on Cockermouth's main street being dried out with fans and dehumidifiers.

IMG_5380_dessicated.jpg China is in the middle of the worst drought in 50 years. Precipitation totals have fallen significantly across most of China's northern provinces. 60% of China's 669 major cities face water shortages, of these 110 face serious water shortages. One of the main consequences of this is that many areas that previously produced much of China's food are seeing crop yields falling, leading to a loss of long term food security. Computer simulation shows that as Climate change accelerates, it will lead to food shortages across large parts of china. Withered crops dry up and dry near Beijing.

Climate change modelling shows that Northern China is going to get significantly drier leading to crop failure and desertification which is already happening in many places. Rivers across China are suffering with many running at critically low levels. Some of this is due to over extraction of water but increasingly is due to climate change. This river is just north of Beijing in Heilingjong province.
