The global chaos agent known as El Niño is back, and this year
it’s already on track to be, by far, the strongest and most
severe on record, wreaking havoc on weather across the world.

Today, Chico Harlan, the global climate reporter for The New York
Times, goes over El Niño’s history, its inner workings and its
increasingly destructive fallout.

Guest: Chico Harlan, the global climate
correspondent for The New York Times.

Background reading:

El Niño, the Pacific climate shift that comes around once or
twice a decade, is back, warming tropical oceans and setting off
consequences worldwide.

It’s expected to peak later this year but is already causing
dry spells and crop failures on three continents.
