El Niño is peaking.

Climate change does not cause El Niño, but it raises the temperature floor beneath this natural swing, adding extra heat and intensifying many of its impacts.

Natural swing. Warmer world. Higher stakes.

Looking at the 'shy of relief' messages by many on social media, as #CycloneDana didn't make the impact they had expected, I can only ask them to look at the plight of more than half a million people who faced temporary displacement. They will continue to suffer! #ClimateChange

Even before it has made landfall, #cyclone_Dana has wreaked havoc in Bhitarkanika Sanctuary where it is heading.

Most agricultural practices are driven by traditions which formed over generations, all of them relying on predictable weather patterns. "During the last few years, we see monsoon variability which is not a typical textbook pattern"...and the farmers are struggling to adapt.

[Nidhi Jamwal @JamwalNidhi]

“The onset of monsoon is late, and withdrawal is also delayed. We now have longer dry spells (very few rainy days), and when it rains, it rains heavily. Therefore, agricultural practices should change. But who is going to bell the cat?” — @rajeevan61

More #disasters can be expected in #Wayanad. #Disaster site was recommended to be in ESA1 or highly ecologically sensitive by #Gadgilcommittee. Construction rampant. Many resorts came up, some dug artificial lakes in resort premises says #MadhavGadgil

#WayanadLandslide | The outpour had slowed on July 30, but not enough to avert the tragedy that struck Wayanad in Kerala in the wee hours of the day. A glance through the amount of rain that battered the State reveals that one station called Thettamala in Wayanad received a whopping amount of 409 mm of rain during the 24 hours ending at 8.30 a.m. on Tuesday. @Dineshkallungal writes

"... without serious and proactive measures on the part of the State government to implement the report’s recommendations, such disasters would recur, exacerbated by climate change, which could bring extreme rainfall and droughts."

[The Hindu @the_hindu]

Ecologist #MadhavGadgil, who was the chairman of the Western Ghats Ecology Expert Panel, has termed the disaster in Wayanad a man-made tragedy, attributing it to the #Kerala government’s failure to implement crucial ecological recommendations.

Monsoon in the hinterland looks something like this: The start of a new #farmingseason with farmers sowing seeds for a fresh produce, waterlogged roads that display broken promises of local politicians, delayed trains, overflowing rivers and a splash of community life 🌧️
