Climate in crisis: the serious consequences of the El Niño phenomenon

The El Niño weather phenomenon, which has just started, is generally associated with rising global temperatures. The natural rise in temperatures in the Pacific Ocean occurs at intervals ranging from 2 to 7 years, and the episodes generally last from nine to twelve months.

Its effects can have significant consequences on agriculture, water resources, biodiversity and global economies, emphasizing the interconnectedness of natural systems on our planet. And according to scientists, its consequences could go beyond the exclusively climatic sphere.

“The history of El Niño has shown that we are seeing an increase and the appearance of a wide range of vector-borne diseases and other infectious diseases in the tropics, in the areas most affected by El Niño,” said Madeleine Thomson, head of the climate impacts of the charity Wellcome Trust.

The increase stems from two effects of El Niño: unusual rainfall that increases the number of breeding sites for transmitters such as mosquitoes, and higher temperatures that accelerate the transmission of various infectious diseases. In 1998, an El Niño event coincided with a major malaria epidemic in the Kenyan highlands.

Mortality

“The arrival of El Niño will considerably increase the probability of breaking temperature records and triggering more extreme heat in many regions of the world and in the oceans,” stressed the Secretary General of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), Petteri at the beginning of July. Taalas.

Heat waves are “silent killers” and “de facto kill more people than any other type of violent weather event,” said Gregory Wellenius, director of a center on climate and health at Boston University.
