Scientists Alarmed to Discover That Earth's Continents Are Drying Out
New research examining over 20 years of data captured by NASA's twin climate satellites, GRACE and GRACE-FO, has revealed an "unprecedented" level of water loss among the planet's continents, creating "mega-drying" regions across the northern hemisphere. One of these mega regions spans Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and vast swaths of Asia. That should clue you in to the staggering scale of this phenomenon, which the scientists are calling terrestrial water storage (TWS) loss. Since 200
