This is another Bill Gates bought and paid for piece of propaganda:

Everyone remembers the diagram – water evaporates from the ocean, first condensing into clouds, then falling on land as rain, before winding its way back to the sea.
The water cycle, or, more properly, the hydrological cycle, has long been a staple of primary school Geography lessons. For even longer – about 3.8 billion years – it has been sustaining life on Earth.
But hundreds of years of human activity have put immense strain on the system, as well as having a huge sweeping impact on the planet as a whole.
Humankind’s use of water is also compounding the climate crisis. Global temperatures are warming at such a rate that they have warped the earth’s natural cycles, and what was once an easily predictable cycle has now become increasingly erratic, scientists say.
“As a result of rising temperatures, the hydrological cycle has accelerated. It has also become more erratic and unpredictable, and we are facing growing problems of either too much or too little water,” Celeste Saulo, Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), warned.
The consequences of this shift have been devastating. On every continent, water is either too plentiful or in desperately short supply, and it’s getting harder to know when and where flooding or drought will strike.
From a violent hurricane season in the Atlantic, to devastating drought in the Amazon and across east Africa, and record flooding on four continents, this year’s extreme weather is a symptom of new volatility in the hydrological cycle, say experts.
Something is wrong with the most basic planetary system of all, but how that disruption makes its mark depends on where you are in the world.

So the Earth’s climate was stable for 3.8 billion years, despite the fact it was much hotter than now for most of that time!
There is the usual nonsense about hurricanes, floods and droughts all getting worse, which is strange given that the IPCC have spent years trying to find evidence of this without success.
But the most noteworthy part about this article is its author, Lilia Sebouai. Obviously she must be an experienced science writer. Well as it turns out, just three years ago, she was working as a bartender!

Are the Telegraph so desperate for Bill Gates’ millions that they are prepared to such risible nonsense?
