Nature World News: A dog walks over a drought hit plot of land on May 04, 2016 in Ben Tre Province, Vietnam. Vietnam's Mekong Delta had been hit by its worst drought in 90 years caused by the El Nio weather patterns and hydroelectric dams. Climate scientists warned that levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is going to be at its highest this year. Contrary to what experts have previously estimated, CO2 levels will exceed a benchmark of 400 parts per million (ppm) for the entire year, as measured atop Hawaii's...
El Nio likely to boost CO2 in 2016

BBC: A big spike in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels means the greenhouse gas is about to pass a symbolic threshold. Twenty-sixteen will very likely mark the first time the concentration of CO2, as measured atop Hawaii's famous Mauna Loa volcano, has been above 400 parts per million for the entire year. The forecast is from the UK Met Office. It says carbon dioxide levels have seen a surge in recent months as a result of the El Nio climate phenomenon, which has warmed and dried the tropics....

But the consequences of a second year of extreme weather will be seen for many more months in food shortages for nearly 100 million people, the loss of income for millions of poor farmers and higher prices in cities, say the UN and leading meteorologists. According to Australian and US government scientists, sea surface temperatures in the Pacific,...
