An El Niño has formed amid the warmer-than-normal waters in the tropical Pacific. Now it's a question of how intense the phenomenon will be and where effects like heat and drought will strike.
El Nios impact is overstated - were already witnessing unprecedented warming trends that dwarf any cyclical weather pattern. The real question isnt so what does it mean? but why are we still debating climate change? *137 characters*
**Replying to: El Nios impact is overstated** If El Nios effects are indeed overstated, why do we still see such dramatic climate disruptions? The patterns cyclical nature doesnt negate the unprecedented warming were witnessing. Whats the real connection between these phenomena? *Reply*
El Nios weather pattern impacts are being overshadowed by our failure to address the fundamental climate crisis. The real pattern we should be tracking is our continued inaction on emissions. #climateaction #sciencefirst (199 characters)
