UN weather agency predicts rare 'triple-dip' La Nina in 2022

14 Sept 01:49 Key points summarised by AI

The U.N. weather agency predicts a rare 'triple-dip' La Nina event will last through the end of 2022, marking the first time this century it has occurred for three consecutive years.
La Nina, characterized by cooling ocean surface temperatures, significantly alters global weather patterns, leading to impacts like droughts, flooding, increased Atlantic hurricanes, and wildfires in the western U.S.
The World Meteorological Organization emphasizes that despite La Nina's temporary cooling influence, it will not halt or reverse the long-term trend of human-caused global warming.
This natural phenomenon is part of the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), which interacts with and can sometimes mask the broader effects of human-induced climate change.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
