El Nino is Linked to the Extreme Weather in 2016
El Nino and
global extreme weather has been
linked since several years ago. In 2016, the extreme weather in the whole world
are even increased. According to the recent research, El Nino is one of the
main factor that increases extreme weather, especially in the archipelago area.
Why El Nino
increase the bad weather
Based on the
research that is conducted in Hawaii, the concentration of CO2 has been
increased up to more than 400 parts per million in Mauna Lao volcano. The
carbon dioxide increases the temperature in the atmosphere that results the El
Nino phenomenon in tropical area. Prof. Richard Bett from the UK Met Office
says that the level of carbon dioxide in 2016 increases to touch the highest
level in the last twenty years. The El Nino even makes the situation worse. The
El Nino flows the CO2 higher to the atmosphere and increase the temperature in
the atmosphere.
The situation
gets worse due to the high level of air pollution. The rain forest area becomes
smaller and smaller that leads to lower oxygen level in the atmosphere and
increase the CO2 level. Normally, the carbon dioxide level is expected to rise
about 2ppm per year. In fact, in 2016 the carbon dioxide level rises up to 3.15
ppm. The scientists believe that the El Nino becomes harder than the usual
seasonal tropical hurricane. It happens because of the warmer temperature on
the sea-surface in the Easter Pacific. In increase the wave and the wind
to get 25% harder than the normal conditions and proofs that El Nino and global extreme
weather have been a global
phenomenon.
Worse situation
coming
Small tsunami is
predicted to happen in most of archipelago countries, including Indonesia.,
especially in the island that facing the Indian ocean and the north coast of
Australia. It is indeed happening because of the El Nino phenomenon. The
situation gets worse for the global air pollution in Asia has been raised
without any rain forest to filter and balance the carbon dioxide levels.
The situation in
some islands such as south coast of Java, Sumatra, Bali, and Lombok, should
have not been this worse. Unfortunately, the moon gravitation is in the
strongest position for the moon, the sun, and the Earth are located in the
shortest distance. It increases the level of ocean wave. The wave becomes
higher and stronger than usual. Then, the El Nino flows it to the island.
Go green is the
solution
How can we save
the Planet Earth?
The Earth has
been in its critical situation. The global warming has affected the whole
population especially the poles of the Earth. The El Nino becomes worse and the
sea-surface level increase to due to the volume of the ocean water. Ironically,
the Earth water level is decreasing to the lowest level.
Today, the
tsunami is just small tsunami and it is not dangerous. But, no one can
guarantee that the tsunami would not get bigger because of the high carbon
dioxide level. The only solution is to go green and save the rain forest to
prevent the next effect of El Nino
and global extreme weather.
