Climate Change Will Likely Drive A Megadrought In The Western U.S.

The video discusses the increasing severity of droughts in the US, particularly in the West, due to climate change. It highlights historical droughts like the Dust Bowl and explains how human-driven climate change is worsening the situation. The video also covers the water cycle's role in droughts, the feedback loop that exacerbates dry conditions, and the current impact on agriculture and power resources. NASA's research suggests that if emissions continue, droughts could persist through the century, affecting how Americans live in the West.
