There is no link between El Nino and climate change
For a long time, the hot ocean currents, also known as the El Nino climate phenomenon in the Pacific, have been known to affect weather around the world.
For a long time, the hot ocean currents, also known as the El Nino climate phenomenon in the Pacific, have been known to affect weather around the world.
However, scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have just discovered that there is no link between El Nino and climate change.
In the study, published in the journal Science on January 3, meteorologists from the Institute for Earth and Atmospheric Research conducted a monthly measurement of Ancient coral fossils are found on two Pacific islands to determine the factors that make the climate warmer.
Along with the reproduction of temperature and precipitation on Earth for thousands of years, scientists have compared the phenomenon of El Nino over time.
According to Professor Kim Cobb, a meteorologist at the institute, although El Nino is more intense and frequent in the 20th century, the results of the analysis of coral fossils show a new form of El Nino. Named El Nino South (ENSO) is more complicated and unpredictable.
Thus, it is not possible to conclude with certainty that recent climate changes are related to climate change due to carbon dioxide emissions.
El Nino is a dramatic change in sea surface temperature in the tropical belt of the Pacific Ocean, occurring every 2-7 years, when trade winds (strong winds blow continuously from the Southeast or Northeast toward the equator) begins to weaken.
This unusual weather phenomenon causes the temperature to rise, causing rainstorms, floods and dryness .
The study was jointly conducted by the National Science Association of America with experts from the Institute of Oceanography and the University of Minnesota.
