CLEAN : S Africas drought wont be a one off warns climate scientist

The video discusses the unusually high temperatures and low rainfall in 2015, attributed to both the El Nino phenomenon and human-induced climate change. It highlights the resilience of ecosystems and economies to a single year of poor production, but warns of the compounded effects in subsequent years. Historical data shows consistent warming in Southern Africa due to human activities. Future projections suggest a cooler and wetter year ahead, but long-term warming and drying trends are expected to continue, potentially leading to similar events in the next decade.

What are the contributing factors to the high temperatures and low rainfall observed in 2015?

How do ecosystems and farmers cope with a single year of below normal production?

What evidence supports the claim of consistent warming in southern Africa over the last century?

What are the long-term trends in climate that may affect future weather patterns?

What might be the implications of another climate event similar to the one experienced in 2015?
