The Last Time the Pacific Shifted Like This, 50 Million People Died

#ElNiño #ClimateDisaster #FamineHistory In 1877, the Pacific Ocean shifted by a few degrees. That was enough to collapse monsoons across an entire subcontinent, dry out harvests on four continents simultaneously, and trigger the deadliest climate disaster in recorded history — killing an estimated 50 million people in under two years. This video covers how it happened, what made it so catastrophic, and what a new El Niño forming right now actually means for the food systems and weather patterns that billions of people still depend on today. The science is not settled. The monitoring data is still coming in. This is a story that is still being written. #ElNiño #Famine #Climate #Weather #History #Pacific #Drought #NaturalDisaster #Earth #OceanScience
