A problematic century


This century is going to be decidedly problematic.

Resources upon which our modern life depends are being depleted at an alarming rate, technology is yet to demonstrate truly viable energy alternatives and to further worsen the difficulties, our weather will deteriorate even more.

An international team of researchers have found that what was once a one in 20 year occurrence of extreme El Nino events, will now be one in 10 years.

A story headed: “Major El Nino events likely to double nextcentury” in today’s Melbourne Age connected the change in frequency of El Nino events to human-induced climate change.
