El Niño


El Niño is characterized by unusually warm ocean temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific. El Niño is an oscillation of the ocean-atmosphere system in the tropical Pacific having important consequences for weather around the globe. Among these consequences are increased rainfall across the southern tier of the US and in Peru, which has caused destructive flooding, and drought in the West Pacific, sometimes associated with devastating brush fires in Australia.

El Niño greatly affects our country, as of today February 18, 2010, farms all over our country are experiencing extreme drought. Because of this, our country has already lost almost 2b pesos in the production of rice and corns. This amount can still increase and it is all determined by whether the El Niño effect will be prolonged or not.

The Bottom line is we need to conserve more water.

yes its true we do need to conserve more water, time to time, the water in earth is dissapearing, because of the climate, the sun is getting hotter years and years.

according to the scientist which I heard in CNN News about the climate change, like in North pole and other continent where there is snow is getting dryer, Even in Japan and U.S are noticing the changes, Polar bear is dissapearing from existance because a lot of P. Bear are dying every year, I hope this won't get worser!

That's right. Conserve water,plant trees, save nature.

Let's all think of the cause and think broadly for the solution.

Climate change. The impact of this phenomenon is greatly affecting the world, also causing this so-called El Niño. So yes, let's all work to resolve this problem.

Stop carbon emission. Quit smoking(it's bad for your health anyway). And with this note, I add: conserve energy.

ps. The climate doesn't cause the sun to get hotter. The destruction of the ozone layer causes more heat to enter the earth and therefore quickens the rate of evaporation of the bodies of water.
