Thanks for sharing the research & info for Spain! 🙏🏻 Including: “Projections for the next 50 years suggest that Southern Europe, including Spain, will experience a combination of rising temperatures, increased drought frequency, and aging infrastructure.” 😐

Re infrastructure, could say “aging & inappropriate infrastructure - certainly for my country, Australia, where for instance, our storm water drains are often overwhelmed because they were not built to carry the volumes of water we now experience as rain becomes torrential & all the hard built surfaces (pavement, concrete, brick) increase the runoff & overwhelm the existing infrastructure which often has a huge maintenance backlog already. Nothing like torrential rain to test a water removal system built when Queen Victoria was a girl! [metaphor for old & antiquated]

#Karoly , who was not involved in the #research said on a global scale the share of #CarbonDioxide absorbed by forests, trees, and plants had been quite stable over the past 20 to 30 years, which was assumed to continue under many #ClimateModels and policies.

But if similar shifts – from sink to source – were observed in other #rainforests, #ClimateProjections may underestimate #GlobalWarming in future. “Which is bad news,” he said.
