Scientists have begun using the term “megadrought” to describe the multi-year drought that has been plaguing the western half of the country, and now we are being told that it looks like 2021 will be the worst year of this “megadrought” so far by a wide margin.

In fact, things have gotten so bad that some experts are already comparing this drought to the Dust Bowl conditions of the 1930s.
