Experts say that a deadly trifecta of climate change, ongoing civil unrest, and international sanctions are behind some of Libya’s worst-ever flooding, which has claimed over 5,000 lives and left another 10,000 missing.
Global warming made the storm that caused one of Libya’s worst floods up to 50 times more likely, according to researchers from World Weather Attribution, an international research collaboration focused on studying the impacts of climate change.
Climate change, civil war and international sanctions all contributed to the devastation caused by some of Libya’s worst flooding ever, researchers say
