Drought
As the hadith reveals, a global drought
will occur before the Dajjal's appearance.
Indeed, the threat of drought, a consequence
of global warming today, influences many
parts of our world. A UN report issued
in 2001 states the seriousness of the situation:
"The Century
of Hunger Knocks at the Door"
In the 21st century, climate changes
resulting from global warming will
bring hunger.
The detrimental dimensions of global
warming, which may be the greatest
yet unrecognized threat to humanity,
will escalate in the 21st century.
According to the recent UN report,
scientists predict global warming
will make the 21st century also an
"age of hunger" and warn that these
changes will make the diminishment
of crops in Asia unavoidable …

Again according
to the report, global warming will result
in diminished amounts of rain and crops,
[and the growth of] desertification and
flash floods. The scientists also warned
that small islands and countries will suffer
seriously from the consequences of global
warming.19
