The Little Girl who's kicking up a storm
The Little Girl who's kicking up a storm La Nina is connected with the onset of extreme
cold, as well as other climactic changes such as high rainfall, and
usually follows the warm Il Nino stage. La Nina has been recorded
15 times over the last century, and is said to affect weather as
well as ocean life, such as the food supplies of both salmon and
sardines. Scientists point to a pattern of Il Nino and La Nina,
suspecting long-term changes related to energy adjustments
occurring in the planet. 20 APRIL 1999
