There's a pretty robust literature on the economic impacts of El Nino, and the impacts are just huge.
Go back to 1982, 1983.
That El Nino led to a $4.1 trillion loss in global income.
Fast forward to 1997, 1998.
That El Nino led to $5.7 trillion in lost GDP around the world.
And the thing to know is that's just not one year after that particular El Nino.
That's a five-year span showing how
These this intense weather patterns wreaks havoc on a lot of infrastructure that takes time to rebuild.
So the economic impacts add up over time is a five year span that we just had just, you know, about 30 years ago just led to almost six trillion dollars in global losses.
Yep.
should say el nino's typically peaks around christmas time so we're in the lead up right now and when we'll see the impacts might be uh around december one reason for hope and that this may not be as bad as the ones in the 90s the 80s and even all the way going back to the 19th century is we're better prepared we have more monitoring we know this is going to come we're talking about it now it's not going to peak until christmas but
weather forecasters have known about this for a while.
In mid-1990s, there were about 70 more buoys in the ocean monitoring temperatures.
Right now, we have over 4,000.
So in the decades since, we've upped our monitoring game.
We know this is going to come.
We can plan.
We can put food security banks in the places in the tropics that might get hit with severe drought or, on the other hand, severe rain.
