Global Warming due to Climate Change: La Niña Likely to Emerge
Due to climate change, global temperatures are rising. Between September and November, there is a 55% chance that the current neutral state will shift to La Niña.
This likelihood is expected to increase to 60% between October this year and February of next year. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) announced on Monday that the chance of El Niño returning is low during this period.
The WMO noted that natural climate phenomena like La Niña and El Niño are occurring more frequently due to human-induced climate change.
Climate change is causing global temperatures to rise, exacerbating extreme weather events, and influencing seasonal rainfall and temperature patterns.
La Niña usually follows a strong El Niño, and both can cause extended droughts, floods, and other natural disasters in some areas.
WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo mentioned that since June last year, global land and sea surface temperatures have remained unusually high.
La Niña may cause short-term cooling, but it won’t change the long-term rise in global temperatures driven by increasing Greenhouse gas levels
