          From time to time, ocean winds shift and the central and eastern Pacific Ocean experiences a heat wave.

          The phenomenon, known as El Niño, occurs naturally roughly every three to seven years, and was documented well before people started raising the planet’s temperatures by burning huge amounts of fossil fuels.

          But this year’s El Niño is shaping up to be one of the strongest on record, and could arrive as the world is already experiencing some of the hottest temperatures in recorded history as a result of human-driven climate change.

         <span>
          Over the years, El Niño patterns have led to intense flooding in some parts of the world, while other areas, including some of the planet’s most important agricultural lands, face drought. Already, countries are preparing for the possibility of food shortages.
         </span>
        </p>
        <p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
         <span>
          While it’s not possible to know exactly how this El Niño will affect global weather patterns, experts are making dire predictions about what the next couple years might bring.
         </span>
        </p>
        <p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
         <span>
          Historically, the phenomenon has led to wetter conditions in parts of the Americas while raising the risk of intense dryness in South and Southeast Asia, southern Africa and Australia.

          This kind of weather pattern usually also reduces the chances of a strong hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean. On Thursday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

         <span>
          There is no evidence that climate change increases the frequency or intensity of El Niños. But the extra heat they produce can exacerbate the conditions brought on by global warming. “It can amplify associated impacts because a warmer ocean and atmosphere increases the availability of energy and moisture for extreme weather events such as heat waves and heavy rainfall,”

The effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz after the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran has throttled many countries’ access to fuel and fertilizer. And then there is the fact that the planet is already hotter than at almost any time in recorded history.

          The move will slow plans to phase out hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs, synthetic substances sometimes referred to as “super pollutants.” HFCs are a huge contributor to human-caused global warming. While they linger in the atmosphere for a shorter time than carbon dioxide, they are hundreds to thousands of times more potent at trapping heat.

          The new regulations would relax existing requirements for grocery stores, air-conditioning companies, semiconductor plants and others to reduce production and use of the chemicals.

          The administration framed it as an effort to lower grocery prices that are testing voters’ finances before November’s midterm elections, and said relaxing the restrictions on HFCs would save businesses and families more than $2.4 billion.

          A subspecies of the broader anicia checkerspot butterfly, the insect is found only in the Sacramento Mountains of New Mexico. A few decades ago, the showy butterflies could easily be seen.

          But global warming, changes to wildfire, excessive grazing, invasive plants and recreation activities led to its decline, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s interpretation of the best available data. The insect has not been seen in the wild since 2022, but it may still exist.

          Each summer, Nils Mikkelsen Utsi guides his reindeer to highland pastures overlooking a fjord, known to locals as Repparfjord, in northern Norway. There, under the Arctic midnight sun, female reindeer give birth, and Utsi marks the ears of the calves. His ancestors have done this for generations.
