El Niño -The Christ Lord

         Now that we’re living in a modern world, technology has really affected our lives and our environment. Through global warming, El Niño became stronger and drier. Though it was normal before to have this El Niño in our climate in the Philippines, it was not normal to have severe drought that causes devastating famine and severe drying of crop lands.

         As concerned citizens, we should know our responsibilities to our nature and how to lessen this effect that we are encountering. As years pass by, the temperature of the environment becomes higher and the surroundings become hotter, thus, animals and plants die which are our basic sources of foods.

Through reading and watching documentaries, I have learned that El Niño is characterized by unusually warm ocean temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific. El Niño is an oscillation of the ocean-atmosphere system in the tropical Pacific having important consequences for weather around the globe.

As an usurer in this world, I want to know more about how to lessen its effects. Maybe, if illegal logging is stopped, then its effects can be lessen and be less devastating. As we know, trees not only provide shade to us but could be source of food and sometimes water.  I would also like to research on how the local government and local authorities respond to the El Niño’s effects. Some do cloud seeding to produce artificial rain that can help the dry crop lands. I appreciate this fact that our local government does something about it, and I know, many farmers are happy about it.

         To be more practical, I could use these learning and insights every day, to remember that we need to save Mother Earth and minimize the use of things that could make El Niño stronger.
