EL NINO and LA NINA DISTURBANCES
The jury is still out on this. Are we likely to see more El Niño's because of global warming? Will they be more intense? These are questions facing the science community today. Research will help us separate the natural climate variability from any trends due to man's activities. If we cannot sort out what the natural variability does, then we cannot identify the "fingerprint" of global warming. We also need to look at the link between decadal changes in natural variability and global warming. At this time we cannot preclude the possibility of links but it is too early to say there is a definite link. Origin: Climate Prediction Center - NOAA
However, a study by the Environment Illinois group may suggest indirect link: Global warming can result in more extreme rain and snowfall as warmer temperatures allow clouds to hold more precipitation, bringing extremes of events.
The average global temperature for 2008 was slightly lower than any other year since 2000, due partly to La Nina, according to the WMO. So is there global warming? Critics ask.

La Nina Weakening Says WMO: News24.com Feb 18, 2009
Icy Temperatures and Snow Are Causing Problems Across W. Europe
El Nino and La Nina are phenomenal weather disturbances in the World. Usually occur in 4 - 7 years interval. Last year is La Nina in Philippines and lots of rain that cause 6 - 30 feet in some areas by couple of super typhoons (cyclones or hurricanes), not only in the said country but in the other parts of the world also.
La Nina cause landslide, too due to deforestation of some mountains and virgin forests in the world. Thousands of people drowned or being buried alive. Heavy rains cause millions of dollars damages, lack of food and water is a big problem and being trapped in roofs, trees, rooftops, etc. But the wonderful thing is that people are helping each other hands. After the La Nina of excessive water tragedies here comes her counterpart El Nino phenomenon also called the dry spell of long months of no rainfalls at all.
Drought is the problems of the farmers with the arrivals of billions black bugs in rice-fields. And destructive coconut beetles that ruin the copra industry. Snakes and serpents are starved and died in the midst of the field looking for cool places and rodents (mice) to eat. And some being killed by humans, I let them (snakes/serpents) go to live and eat those destroyers the mice and for balance of nature.
Thanks, to some who knew cloud seeding by using silver iodide and dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide). Being industrious is the key in keeping small crops using water pumps or plant the riverside area. In Utah, 19th century history Latter Day Saints or Mormon Pioneers turned this desert to bloom like a rose. Because of their unity, perseverance and faith they did it. They made Salt Lake City famous and progressive. By 2002 they hosted the 2002 Winter Olympic edition. I love planting in my free time despite of El Nino phenomenon. I do water my plants twice a day.
Last year is my first time to saw hail storm or rain of ice in a minute then came a thunderstorm. Global Warming cause by Greenhouse Effect. That stared in time of Industrial Revolution that emitted tons of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, chlorofluorocarbon in atmosphere. Plus the natural volcanic eruptions and weapons of war adds in the thinning of the ozone layer.
We can help by tree planting and following some tips on how to prevent global warming. During the dry spell on El Nino some houses, building and forest are accidentally on fire. Our body needs more water and take a bath to prevent illness. Have a great day!
