Rhine River is Drying Up
The German economy depends on that river for a lot commerce and supply lines. Does not bode well for The E.U. when their main economic leader is hit hard for trade and fuel supplies.

While disruptions to waterways would be a challenge at the best of times, the region is already on the brink of recession as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine fuels inflation by squeezing food and energy supplies. The situation — just four years after a historic halt to Rhine shipping — adds urgency to European Union efforts to make inland shipping more resilient.

All of Europe is in drought and burning as well.

Too bad it didn't happen in 1945!

It's happened since the beginning of time. Weather patterns will always continue to change all over the Earth. There will be droughts and floods and ice ages again and again long after we're gone. A river flowing unchanged for a couple or three hundred years as these people have depended on is just a speck of time in the history of the universe.
The only thing I've done in my life to deal with the weather is always build my house on high ground. You can always come down to get water but getting washed away in your sleep by a flood, well that's most always going to have a bad ending.

So if I travel over there, and while walking along the bank, happen to find, say, a Jagdtiger poking out of the mud, do I get to keep it?

Not in Germany! After losing WWII those poor Germans can't be allowed to keep and bear arms anymore and guess what it's coming here soon with all the chaos erupting nation wide now, The great reset is coming and The Fed's know it. Time to prepare is about over.

Did a little research and according to both geological records and more recently manmade measurements there have been 29 Rhine river droughts since 1540. The lake that feeds the river is about in the same shape as Lake Mead. So for those that blame us causing climate change, explain the majority of these events happening before 1900. I am not making light of the problem, as the greater reliance on the river for commerce today means a logistical nightmare will occur. Hopefully the climate cycles will change and get the levels up.
