A scientific team warned against the emergence of an old climate pattern similar to the "El Nino" phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean, which will affect Asia and Africa significantly in the coming years due to the recent climate changes.
According to the Russian agency "Sputnik", "El Nino" is a climate phenomenon that occurs frequently every two or seven years throughout the tropical Pacific region, which moves back and forth irregularly and causes disturbances in temperature, wind and precipitation.
But scientists have indicated that the ancient phenomenon, which had not occurred for 21,000 years, could soon appear to be highly destructive, according to the "Daily Mail".
A team of scientists created a computer simulation of the estimated future climate changes, which showed that the ancient "El Nino" phenomenon could emerge by the year 2100, and they warned that the continuation of the current rise would make it appear in the year 2050, and the analysis revealed the existence of huge fluctuations in temperatures The Pacific surface is similar to what happened 21 thousand years ago.
The study, conducted by the University of Texas, is based on previous research in 2019 that found evidence of the masking of the "El Nino" Pacific phenomenon, which witnessed this phenomenon during the Ice Age, which led to the spread of marine microbes called "Forms" that lived 21 thousand years ago.
"Global warming will create a planet that will be completely different from what we know today, or what we knew in the twentieth century," said climate scientist at the University of Texas Institute, Pedro Denizio.
Currently, the Pacific Ocean witnesses slight climatic fluctuations from year to year due to the wind paths that blow from west to east, and simulations indicate that the warming phenomenon can reflect the wind flow paths, which destabilizes the oceans and creates a very "extreme" climate in the whole world.
According to research, this phenomenon will also disrupt monsoons, which will be devastating for those who live on seasonal agriculture.
