Extreme La Nina
weather events that cool the Pacific Ocean and can disrupt weather worldwide will paradoxically happen almost twice as often in a warming world, an international team of scientists said on Monday. Severe La Ninas, linked to both floods and droughts as well as more landfalls by Atlantic hurricanes, would happen on average every 13 years in the 21st century if greenhouse gas emissions keep rising, compared with once every 23 years last century, the researchers said.

"We show that greenhouse warming leads to a significant increase in the frequency of extreme La Niña events," said the report led by experts at Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).
