Super-El Niño 2027: which countries should prepare for cataclysms

An analysis of climate trends warns of the formation of the strongest El Niño on record, peaking in 2027. The article, citing New Scientist, describes a chain of cataclysms: fires in Indonesia, drought in Africa, floods in South America, epidemics, coral die-offs, and record heat. The world's infrastructure, according to the authors, is not ready for such shocks.

An analysis of climate trends, citing New Scientist, warns of the formation of the strongest El Niño phenomenon on record, peaking in 2027. The article describes a chain of predicted cataclysms: in Indonesia, forest fires have covered over 1,000 square kilometers of rainforest, with carbon emissions approaching 2015 levels. In Africa, northern and eastern Ethiopia face crop failure, South Sudan teeters on the brink of famine, and in Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, drought threatens maize crops. In early 2027, heavy rains will hit South America, especially Peru and Ecuador. In spring, outbreaks of cholera and malaria are expected due to rising waters, in May, mass coral reef die-offs, and summer 2027 could be the hottest on record. The author concludes that disasters occur not because of the weather itself, but due to a lack of investment in preventive safety.
