Explainer: What is El Niño? | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the 1600s, fishers in Peru saw that every few years around Christmastime, the waters there warmed, and they caught fewer anchovies. They called this “El Niño” – the boy – after the Christ child. In the early 20th century, the physicist Gilbert Walker noticed that the prevailing low atmospheric pressure and rainy weather over the western Pacific and dry, high pressure over the eastern Pacific periodically flipped. But it wasn’t until 1969 that meteorologist Jacob Bjerknes linked the two, showi
Our food system is vulnerable to El Niño, warns UK climate minister | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A record El Niño climate phase will unleash unprecedented heat and extreme weather, and the UK food system is vulnerable, climate minister Katie White told New Scientist. At the same time, she pushed back against “panic and fear” after environment minister Angela Eagle told Britons they should “store a bit of food that can keep you going for a while” in case of El Niño storms and flooding. The collapse of the AMOC would be catastrophic. How will we know when it’s coming? “Look, am I going out an
How to Live On Earth: Benedict Cumberbatch’s nature show is stunning,if a little cloying | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How to Live on Earth, a new nature documentary hosted by Benedict Cumberbatch, starts with bizarre footage of farmers in China tickling pear trees with giant feather dusters. Because pesticides have killed off the bees, farmers must now pollinate pear blossoms themselves. It shows how absurd and broken our relationship with nature is. We are destroying the ecosystems that we depend on. Now published to YouTube as “the world’s greatest how-to video”, the documentary aims to explore not just this
The collapse of the AMOC would be catastrophic. How will we know when it's coming? | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On a sunny evening in July, a research ship called the Sir David Attenborough was working near the Sorgenfri glacier in south-eastern Greenland when a kilometre-long wall of craggy, bulging ice collapsed into the fjord. The scientists on deck watched in stunned silence as an estimated 18 million tonnes of ice slowly flipped over, sending up vast plumes of spray. Iceberg calving on this scale was once relatively rare – but it has become commonplace in recent years as Earth warms. And that acceler
Satellite data gives clearer picture of how ice sheets are losing mass | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most ice loss in Greenland and Antarctica isn’t due to melting at the surface. Instead, these ice sheets are shrinking mainly because glaciers are flowing faster into the ocean, raising the risk of feedback loops that could accelerate sea level rise. While rising air temperatures thaw ice at the surface, glaciers also lose ice at the coast. Relatively warm ocean water melts the underside of the glacier and icebergs calve off its tongue, drifting equatorward to eventually melt. The quicker a glac
