Nature is angry, El Nino will be more intense
A new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change today shows that climate change will make El Nino's frequency increase significantly in the 21st century.
A new study published in today's Nature Climate Change shows that climate change will make El Nino's frequency significantly increase in the 21st century. Specifically, instead of 20 years of development Once, we will meet El Nino every 10 years.
>>>El Nino is getting worse due to rising temperatures
The El Nino phenomenon occurs naturally when the temperature of the Pacific Ocean rises, changing the rains and causing serious phenomena such as floods or droughts around the world. The last serious El Nino occurred in 1997-1998 caused losses of about US $ 35-45 billion and killed 23,000 people.

It is worrisome that scientists previously believed that the El Nino natural phenomenon would not be affected by the frequency and severity of climate change. The new study shows that things are not so lucky.
"This is an unbelievable consequence of global warming," said Professor Mat Collins of the University of Exeter. "In the past, we thought that El Nino was not affected by climate change. Tropical rains like when El Nino times happen have a great impact on the world. significant ".
Climate experts say more research is needed on this topic, but the situation is not very positive. " Basically, this is an irreversible climate change phenomenon, and we will have to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions for generations to ease the damage , " Collins said. additional. "This is another proof of the need to reduce emissions."
