New report that all (or nearly all) ancient bristlecone pines growing in Panamint Range, Death Valley NP have died in 2022 -- victims of record drought & invading bark beetles. Add these irreplaceable 1000+ year-old trees to the list of losses due to escalating climate change. pic.twitter.com/GmusozcQuU

There's a drought order in Verona (Italy) that covers a quarter of a million people. They are prohibited to use drinking water to water gardens or sports fields.
