Extreme droughts and prolonged heat waves have significantly raised awareness of climate change dangers in Germany in the past years. And the changing weather patterns are also having a huge impact on the country's environment, as forests and rivers will likely change their appearance in a lasting way, says Alexander Marx, hydrology researcher at the Helmholtz-Zentrum für Umweltforschung. Global warming is a major factor behind recurring dry spells in the country. However, addressing the problem requires a different approach than just tackling climate change, in which action taken at the local level is much more more important than a comprehensive international response, Marx told Clean Energy Wire.
