Climate change ramping up EL Nino severity

After the flood: what an El Niño might mean for Australia’s ecosystems. Graham Readfearn's latest article.

The El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) are getting more extreme with climate change. The above graph charts the cyclic nature of El Nino/La Nina set against the rising temperature trend of global warming. La Nina years are now hotter than El Nino years from just a decade ago. 

The odds are that we may get a year or two of El Nino after 3 years of La Nina, although we won’t know for sure until after the autumn predictability barrier for the next cycle.

🔥 Dr Wenju Cai, a CSIRO ENSO expert on LaNina/ElNino, said climate models are suggesting that as the world keeps warming, there will be more extreme La Niñas and El Niños, less neutral years, and their impacts will be more extreme. “Heatwaves are worse and droughts are longer, deeper and harder to break,"

🔥 Dr Andrew King says as the climate warms, an El Niño “will really increase the chance of a record hot year globally.”

🔥 Dr Bowman highlighted Rising Bushfire risk after 3 La Niña years stimulating vegetation growth.

🐠 2022 saw the first Mass coral Bleaching event in a La Nina Year. Expect more decline in coral reef ecosystems, especially with El Nino.

URG coral bleached! :( #marineexplorer by John Turnbull Via Flickr: This is the "URG Coral"; first recorded and measured by the Underwater Research Group in the 1960s, and based on growth rates it is thought to be over a century, maybe 300 years, old. Today I found it totally bleached, following months of extreme conditions with heavy rains, storms and warm waters.

Grass root with natural lac dye 🧡   A few years ago I came across some willow root growing underwater in a river in the UK and it got me thinking about the binding properties of root: What if we could grow our clothes from seed?   As an underwater photographer (my real job @zenaholloway ) I was looking for solutions to the problem of plastic pollution in our oceans and I found that I could sustainably grow grass seed in beeswax moulds.  

Scientists predict that nearly all the coral will be gone by 2050 due to global warming 😢 so my response is to grow a sustainable coral reef from grass root.  I want to imagine a future that still has coral reefs. They support 25% of all marine life, and are some of the most spectacular places on the planet (especially if you’re an underwater photographer 😉)   I’ll be exhibiting my ‘coral’ with Material Matters from 22-25 September, top floor at the iconic Bargehouse @oxotowerwharf on London’s South Bank.

Coral bleaching was first noticed in the 1980s. Global warming and the warming oceans cause coral reefs to bleach. Coral are still alive when they bleach, but they’re stressed and many eventually die. Scientists are seeking ways to protect and revive coral reefs. @vrartlive #yearofvrart weekly challenge.

What's Missing? CHECK OUT MY IG FILTERS! On this Father's Day weekend, I'd like to share my little contribution to an Instagram filter project initiated by @theweirdandwild to raise awareness of our environment. Check out my three IG filters (tap on the filter section on my profile page to try them out!). Do tag me! I've chosen to focus on the destruction of natural habitats caused by deforestation, coral bleaching and climate change. I think it's important to understand that human beings are one of the threatened species. We are not separate from nature and when we talk about saving the planet, we're really talking about saving ourselves. Big thanks to Jake @jxketan and Sheryl @sherylsimi , the amazing interactive media artists who expertly turned my 2D drawings into animated IG filters. And do look out for other cool filters from the other Singaporean artists who are part of this project (they will be launched on different dates in the coming days) by following the hashtag #CreatorClimateAction #sustainability #igfilter #igfilters #environment #savetheplanet #connect2earth #deforestation #coralbleaching #climatechange #climateaction #happyfathersday #biodiversity (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBrnWu0nPNd/?igshid=k8twxidq35er

coral Bleaching

Coral has been reacting negatively in its environment recently, you may know this as coral bleaching. Water temperatures have been increasing at a rapid rate and it is affecting the coral. When the water becomes to warm the algae inside the corals tissues start to expel, this causes the coral to lose all of its colour and will turn completely white which is also the start of the bleaching. This does not mean the coral is dead just yet, but if not helped soon, it will die. The coral goes through four stages. First it is healthy with its normal colours but as the bleaching starts to hit, you will notice it to become more of a florescent colour instead, that is the first stage of the bleaching. When the bleaching becomes more severe, it becomes completely white. If not stopped soon then it will die, at this stage the coral becomes a brown and it will start to develop algae around it.

You can find Coral in many places, but it is mostly found in more tropical areas. Coral bleaching can leave a big impact on its environment because so much of the life that lives there depends on the coral to survive, it is used as food and shelter and if taken away it can also lead to losing other sea life. The bleaching can also harm the environment in other ways, it can cause sedimentation, which is related to a decrease in light levels, as well as suffocation of sessile marine life. Not only is the coral important to its environment, it is also important to us. Coral can be used in the process of treating some diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Without the coral, there is a lower chance of getting these people the right medical care that can help them.

 The major cause of Coral bleaching is Global warming. This has made the bleaching out of our control and the Coral is dying faster than ever before, if we don’t find a way to stop this, we might never have the chance to see the coral reefs again.

it’s no news that corals are heading towards extinction also that they play a way bigger part on this planet than just to look nice. @natgeo website published a great article called “can new science save dying coralreefs” which shows the whole scenario is far more complicated but not hopeless. #coralreef #natgeo #globalwarming #coralbleaching #coralextinction #nature #environment #science #climatechange https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqzv28DhH_Z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15wo7tb13k81y

Two new sculptures of coral to bring awareness to coral bleaching caused by climate change 🌎 Freedom4Ewa - Helping To Heal Our Wounded Environments is going to be purchasing one Sea Change book through @seashepherd for every sculpture that is sold. Each book will go to a child living in a local domestic violence shelter! Your support will allow Sea Shepherd Global to keep protecting our environment as well as help educate and inspire young children to make a positive difference in this world ♥️🌎♥️ #coralbleaching #climatechange #F4E #WoundedEnvironment #Survivor #quietdistress #freedom4ewa #domesticviolencesurvivor #makingachange #freedom #skeletonkey‪ ‬ #strengthinnumbers #steampunk #Speakout #madewithlove #loveconquersall #oneofakind #breakthesilence #nomore #love #loveyourself #handmade #abuse #ptsd #selflove #enddv #recycle #anxiety #breakthecycle https://www.instagram.com/p/BwDnVIqgxcA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wbdpxn4xt1rq

I used premier pro to create this video for my final installation piece. The quality of this video is much better than the programme I had previously used. I also added two recordings together and was able to put audio over it which is sounds from the deep sea. I think it gives the piece an eerie sense to it and enables the viewer to become more engaged with the piece. I am happy with the results from my experimentations and feel the video was more successful than the actual pieces themselves.

 “Tourrorism Allinclusive” 

@9/10 Gallery / Poznań 

“In November 2017, we visited the Egyptian coast of Sinai to collide the generally accepted principle of traveling in a system organized by a travel agency, with free, spontaneous navigation around Egypt" on their own. " For several years, however, there are terrorist attacks against various religious groups and tourists, which effectively prevents summer visitors from going to these areas. The economic picture of this country, dependent on tourism, defines a new, apocalyptic coastal landscape - viewed through the prism of unfinished skeletons and ruins of once-popular hotel complexes. This trip was the starting point and inspiration for the implementation of works dealing with the subject of organized tourism.“
