It has now been confirmed with scientists, meteorologists and climatologists that the Pacific ocean is heating up and we can expect El Nio season whether on the Pacific coast during the winter of 2006 and 2007. We all know that El Nio brings lots of rain to the West coast and can cause droughts in the Midwest.

This means that in the united states we need to be prepared. Places like california need to worry about their reservoirs, canals and dams. Those people that live in Malibu california will need to worry about landslides and those that live in low-lying areas will get some flooding this year.

El Nio also causes havoc for the Midwest and droughts can hurt crops such as corn to make ethanol and crops to feed livestock. Often it very much hurts our American farmers and those towns in Middle america. There is not much we can do now to change the coming El Nino trend, it is coming and we will have to deal with it once again.

El Nino can also be a problem as it causes vegitation to grow quickly and therefore it grows up tall, but then that means more to dry out later causing more fuel for late summer wildfires and the fire season that follows.

Some even believe that El Nino affects plate tectonics and can be at least a percentage of the cause of Earthquakes and shifts. So, El Nino is a force to be reckoned with and therefore we need to be prepared in advance in our civilization to handle Mother Natures normal climate shifts. Please consider all this in 2006.
