and Australia, tropical storms in the Pacific, torrential rains along the Californian coast and lush greening of Peruvian deserts have all been ascribed to the whim of El Nino. Until recently it has been returning about every three to five years. But recently it has become more frequent—for...
ice-free condition for the entire Arctic in driving significantly more frequent strong El Niño events, as opposed to the North Pacific sea-ice sector specifically. A major mechanism describing El Niño dynamics is the “recharge-discharge oscillator”33. Prior to El Niño events, heat builds...
El Niño and La Niña) are driven by the strength of trade winds36. During El Niño events, trade winds weaken, and warm water accumulates off the South American west coast. During La Niña events
Thus SF is not only change speculator but change agent, send an echo from the future that is becoming into the present that is sculpting it. This fact alone makes imperative in any education system the study of the kinds of works discussed in this section.The overall tone of the piece of...
Climate change increases the possibility of extreme weather events which in turn makes disease transmission more frequent in poor, developing countries. The weather event known as El Nino has been determined to be one of the leading environmental factors that influences disease. El Nino is a band ...
Coral fragments transition from healthy (left) to becoming encased by microbial biofilm (right) under severe heat stress, resulting in coral mortality, microbial colonization, and skeletal decay. Our results here, taken in context of underlying sea surface temperature conditions becoming more physiologica...

Consider that the western world is on a course towards more expensive electricity. If you understand that it will also likely result in greater unreliability, you see the emerging concerns as intensely magnified. Higher cost (and more unreliable) energy in the west will lead to a greater exodus...
Since the early 1900s, precipitation events have become heavier and more frequent across most of the U.S. and flooding is becoming a bigger issue, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Gases emitted by human activities, such as driving cars and growing f...
