URGENTEEEEE ME AJUDEMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Climate change worsens NE Brazil's drought
The drought affecting Brazil's huge north-eastern region
threatens to render it completely arid - and scientists
say the warming climate is to blame.
Crops have withered, cattle are dying, and over 700 cities
and towns have declared states of emergency. Besides
agriculture, industry and hydroelectric power generation
are also affected as evaporation lowers the water levels
in the reservoirs and lakes.
Writing in the journal Theoretical and Applied
Climatology, José Antonio Marengo of the National
Centre for Monitoring and Alerts of Natural Disasters
and colleagues warn that "climate projections generated
by the climate model suggest that from now on, more
severe and prolonged droughts will be the rule, not the
exception."
Their article, Drought in Northeast Brazil - Past, present
and future, is based on research which used a tool jointly
developed by Brazilian and British scientists, known as
PULSE - the Platform for Understanding the Long Term
Sustainability of Ecosystems.
Marengo says: "Climate change will extract a heavy price
from the northeast. Is it inevitable? Today there is only
one certainty. In the future there will be longer and hotter
drought periods."

The reader can infer that the text makes a link between drought and
A
the pests that affect agriculture.
B
the difficulties in the supply of electricity.
C
the deaths of residents in several cities.
D
the necessary sustainability in the northeast.
