The Coming El Nio Could Lead To Warmest Year On Record

SFist: Climate scientists are all pretty well on board with the prediction that this coming winter is going to be a severe El Nio season. And for those who did not live in Northern California during the winter of '97/'98, that means we're in for some serious, non-stop rain, and a period of dreariness that will be the opposite of this shiny, sunny summer we just had. But now at least one scientist is linking El Nio to spikes in overall average temperatures around the globe, and suggesting that 2015 is...
Extreme Weather: How El Nio Might Alter the Political Climate
2014-05-20 08:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: El Nio is coming. Above-average sea surface temperatures have developed off the west coast of South America and seem poised to grow into a full-fledged El Nio event, in which unusually warm water temperatures spread across the equatorial East Pacific. Models indicate a 75 percent chance of El Nio this fall, which could bring devastating droughts to Australia or heavy rains to the southern United States. The debate over climate change, however, brings additional significance to this round of El...

Early El Nio Conditions May Spell Big Weather Impact This Year
2014-05-14 18:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Indications are growing that an El Nio weather pattern may be forming in the Pacific Ocean, which could have a profound impact on global weather. El Nio events are spawned by unusually warm ocean waters in the Pacific, and these NASA satellite images are one indication of warmer waters. The images depict sea-surface height anomalies, with above average sea-surface height shown in various shades of brown. Above average sea-surface heights are an indication of warmer waters, which expand as temperatures...

El Nio Chances Jump To Near 80%. Add In Global Warming And We Face Record Heat
2014-05-08 14:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: The chances of an El Nio developing this year are now at almost 4 out of 5. The chart above from NASA makes clear El Nios are generally the hottest years on record - since the regional warming adds to the underlying man-made global trend. The chart below is the consensus forecast for the El Nio Southern Oscillation (ENSO) from NOAA`s Climate Prediction Center (CPC) and the International Research Institute (IRI) for Climate and Society: If this El Nio does start fairly quickly and become...
World is unprepared for major El Nio later this year
2014-05-07 21:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: Wild weather is coming in 2014, with floods, storms and droughts expected around the Pacific, but little is being done to protect the people on the front line THE weather is preparing to go wild, and will wreak havoc and death around the globe later this year. An El Nio, a splurge of warm water in the Pacific Ocean, is coming. It will unleash floods in the Americas, while South-East Asia and Australia face drought. Yet little is being done to address these consequences. "The tropical climate...
