Some European countries are partially or completely abandoning Russian gas.
This strategy provokes a crisis situation in the European energy sector.
In addition, there is a circumstance that may aggravate the crisis.
As foreign media report, we are talking about climate change.
Thus, a number of European countries are experiencing abnormal heat and drought. This weather leads to shallowing of rivers.
As an example, foreign experts cited the continued drying of the Rhine, an important trade artery.
The climate crisis comes at the worst possible time, with Europe plunging into an energy crisis exacerbated by the conflict in Ukraine. – MIA quotes the authors of the material published in the American media.
What the climate crisis could lead to
Climate change amid gas shortages could worsen the already difficult situation in Europe.
Thus, due to problems with waterways, the following situation cannot be ruled out: the EU may partially or completely stop supplying important products.
All this will lead to an increase in the cost of various goods.
According to foreign experts, climate problems may “finish off” some European countries facing an energy crisis.
