It is now official: 2021 was one of the seven warmest years on record, said the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) this week.

In fact, 2021 could be the coldest year we’ll ever see again.

Although it is unusual that this climate phenomenon appears for two years in a row, that is not unusual.
During La Nina, we’ll be seeing cool water come up from the depths of the Pacific Ocean to the surface.
