"This expanded and updated edition of Currents of Change explains in simple terms what El Nino and La Nina are, how their effects might be forecast, and what their impacts on humans are throughout the world. Examining for the first time the major El Nino of 1997-1998, this book explores what we can learn from past events, what we can do to ameliorate the worst impacts of these extremes, and how global warming might affect El Nino and La Nina events in future decades."--BOOK JACKET.
