Return of El Niño

 The world’s most potent climate phenomenon risks sparking a chain reaction of dangerous weather, food shortages and blackouts

The shift to a warming phase from the cooler La Niña can generate chaos, especially in fast-growing emerging economies. Power grids strain and blackouts become more frequent. Extreme heat creates public health emergencies, while drought adds to fire risks. Crops are lost, roads are flooded and homes are destroyed.

The World Meteorological Organization calculates there is a 98% chance the combination of the accumulation of greenhouse gases and the return of El Niño will make the next five-year period the warmest yet, pushing global temperatures into uncharted territory.

Vattnet i den tropiska Atlanten är alltid varmt relativt sett, men precis som det mesta så varierar även det över tid.

Den här variationen kallas för den atlantiska multidekadala oscillationen, AMO, och består av en varm och en kall fas.
