Warnings of an El Niño unlike any other are starting to become reality.
For years, climate change was a problem waiting somewhere in the future, but the question of human survival has stepped out to the forefront of global reality.
Climate change has already doubled the world’s heatwaves between 2024 and 2025 and brought more severe droughts, floods and water shortages to Africa.
Across southern Europe, increasingly extreme heat, wildfire and intense rainfall are forcing planners to consider how one event can alter the risk of the next. Portugal’s exceptionally wet winter and another summer of wildfire risk are an example of this.
South Africa is already experiencing the effects of climate change, and those impacts are expected to intensify as global temperatures rise, President Cyril Ramaphosa warned earlier this year.
A new study suggests that El Niño — the natural climatic chaos agent that pops up periodically and spikes global temperatures — are getting stronger because of human-caused climate change.

- CRA Media receives a large number of video podcasts submitted for consideration on our platforms, including Farmingportal.co.za and Agri News Net.While we truly appreciate the enthusiasm and the effort that goes into creating this content—and we value contributions from the agricultural community—we maintain strict editorial and quality standards for all material published on our sites.
- We have too many people in the world today who add very little real value — to their families, their communities, or society at large. Many of them do not work, yet they place a heavy burden on food security and public resources. Instead of contributing, they mainly demand, blame, and fight. The world already feels overstretched with people who bring minimal value
- A hectare and an acre are both units of land measurement, but they differ significantly in size and usage.1 hectare = 10,000 square metres (a 100 m × 100 m square). 1 acre ? 4,046 square metres (roughly 63.6 m × 63.6 m).
