Some researchers
are thinking why is the el Niño so powerful this autumn, although the time for
it is gone.
Many who
spoke a lot about evolution are now talking about global warming.
Mind-blowing.
Unprecedented. Off the charts. Jaw-dropping. Godzilla-level. Superlatives have
been flying about the current El Niño climate pattern, which is already the strongest on record months before it is expected to
peak – and unusually, they are coming from scientists, rather than the media.
So, what has made this such an exceptional event?
This will
no doubt be the subject of many studies to come, but the broad picture is
clear. Two main factors have driven the formation of this record-smashing El
Niño, the first of which was set in motion long before it began.
