Dramatic images show the first floods in the Sahara in half a century

 I read the article ¨Dramatic images show the first floods in the  Sahara in half a century: by Eromo Egbjule, published in today´s Guardian. The main topic is climate change or extreme weather conditions. The report talks about recent rainfall in the Sahara region and how it has filled reservoirs and created new bodies of water. Additionally, a lake that had been dry for 50 years started to fill up. The article describes the rainfall in different parts of Morocco and how 18 people have died has a result of this situation.

The key facts discuss the amount of rain in relation to previous years. The people quoted are Houssine Youabeb for Morocco´s meteorology agency, and  Secetary General of the World Metrorological Organization, Celeste Saulo. Images from NASA satelites are also used.

The only bias I noticed was the in headline which mentions weather conditions unseen for 50 years whilst the body of the text talks about 30 - 50 years.

This article caught my eye because climate change is a big issue now. However, global warning might not be the only cause of the change in weather as according to the article in the link below, the Earth's magmnetic field is overdue a flip ........
