Scientists say an El Nino weather event has started. Its effects
will be felt everywhere in the form of heavier rainfall in some
parts of the world and deeper droughts in others. What's the link
with Climate Change? And is it making it harder for us to
prepare?

On this week's edition of The Climate Question, Graihagh gets a
briefing on El Nino from a leading expert; we travel to Peru to
meet the coastal communities on the front line; and we hear how
ancient civilisations not only learned to deal with El Nino, but
managed to use it to their advantage.

Presenter Graihagh Jackson is joined by: Tom Di Liberto,
Meteorologist at the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric
Administration in the US Dr George Adamson, Senior Lecturer in
Geography, King's College London Dr Laila Shahzad, Disaster Risk
expert at Government College, Lahore.
