El Nio prolongs longest global coral bleaching event
2016-02-23 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Global warming and the intense El Nio now underway are prolonging the longest global coral die-off on record, according to NOAA scientists monitoring and forecasting the loss of corals from disease and heat stress due to record ocean temperatures. The global coral bleaching event that started in 2014 could extend well into 2017, researchers report at the Oceans Sciences Meeting here this week. Coral bleaching happens when corals are stressed by conditions such as high temperatures. The bleaching,...

El Nio begins decline

Philippine Star: The worst of one of the strongest dry spells on record is over, but its impact will be felt for many months to come, according to the UN weather agency. In the Philippines, an El Nio-induced drought would still be felt across the country, especially in Mindanao in the summer season, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said. PAGASA defines drought as three consecutive months of way below normal rainfall or about 60 percent reduction from...
El Nio leaves 100 million people short of food and water worldwide

Guardian: Severe droughts and floods triggered by one of the strongest El Nio weather events ever recorded have left nearly 100 million people in southern Africa, Asia and Latin America facing food and water shortages and vulnerable to diseases including Zika, UN bodies, international aid agencies and governments have said. New figures from the UNs World Food Programme say 40 million people in rural areas and 9 million in urban centres who live in the drought-affected parts of Zimbabwe, Mozambique, South...
NOAA and NASA Team Up to Investigate Strong El Nio
2016-02-14 15:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: America's two leading climate science agencies are conducting an unprecedented survey via land, sea and air to investigate the current El Nio event and better understand its impact on weather systems that have brought both parched and soaking conditions to North America. The project, which will conclude in March, will deploy resources from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and NASA to analyze one of the strongest El Nios on record. El Nio is a periodic phenomenon in...

El Nio brings fears of dengue fever outbreaks
2016-02-09 13:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The dengue virus affects 390 million people globally every year, and fears are that early 2016 will see an epidemic, particularly in South-East Asia, due to the predicted extreme intensity of El Nio. A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has revealed the significant role that this monster climatic phenomenon plays in the outbreak of haemorrhagic fevers. Reviewing health reports from eight South-East Asian countries, spanning a period of 18 years, the research...
