Before we learn about the Super El Niño 2026, what do we call the El Niño phenomenon? El Niño is the warm phase of a natural climate cycle known as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). It is characterized by the anomalous warming of surface waters in the tropical Pacific, which alters atmospheric circulation and modifies [...]
The La Niña phenomenon and Earth's climate system The scientific community is currently monitoring the "Super El Niño" of 2026 and record-breaking ocean temperatures with concern. At SGK-PLANET, we also analyze the other indispensable half of the story: the La Niña phenomenon. Below, we explore the scientific origins of this anomaly and its global impacts [...]
The 2026 El Niño phenomenon is already a reality. The planet is facing one of the harshest climate conditions of recent decades. Forecasts predict record ocean temperatures and atmospheric disruptions, creating a landscape divided between devastating droughts in some regions and catastrophic rainfall in others. Below, we analyze the scope of this climate threat and [...]
How many PPM and °C increases will the war cause by the end of 2026? IIn these days of crisis, we are seeing images of enormous oil and natural gas extraction and storage fields ablaze, spewing thick plumes of black smoke into the atmosphere. We have also seen countless tankers burning, their millions of barrels [...]
COP 30 will be held in 2025 in Belém, Brazil, from November 10 to 21. Three decades have passed since COP 1 in Berlin, 1995, until COP 30. This period marks an important milestone in our planet's climate. Thirty is a round number, ideal for taking stock of the achievements and failures of the COPs [...]
The polar vortex is a phenomenon that normally occurs in the upper atmosphere above the Arctic. It manifests as a mass of cold air that rotates counterclockwise, growing and shrinking with the changing seasons. The phenomenon was diagnosed as a “sudden stratospheric warming”, which caused the vortex to disperse and reverse its circulation, lowering temperatures [...]
Includes recommendations to minimize in advance the effects of the El Niño phenomenon Scientists estimate that the 2023-2024 El Niño, exacerbated by the climate crisis, will likely raise global temperatures to new records in 2024. The most recent of these events was El Niño 2015-2016. After seven years of pause, it is among us again, [...]
The good news is that the road for the renewable, green, or clean fuels is clear. Already 13% of the world's energy is produced by solar and wind energy, and the production of both continues to increase, according to data provided by CNN. The transition process is in full movement and has reached an inertia [...]
Since 1963, every July 7 we celebrate the International Soil Conservation Day, in memory of the American researcher Dr. Hugh Hammond Bennet who dedicated himself to the study of production and care of the soil, to maintain the balance of the environment. What is the soil? Soil is one of the most important resources to [...]
Like every year, every April 22 we celebrate International Mother Earth Day. The theme for the year 2022 is “Invest in our planet”. We find ourselves with oceans and seas increasingly suffocated by plastic pollution. The followed rise in temperatures to extreme levels. Forest fires, floods, cyclones, tornadoes and other climatic events affect millions of [...]
