Scientists around the world have been studying the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean

future in different areas of the world.

Gordon Eshel. A scientist of Zimbabwe, Roger Buckland worked with them. They have found
that when EL Nino appears, Zimbabwe has little or no rain. This means corn crops in Zimbabwe
are poor. The last EL Nino was in 1991 to 1993. That was when south-eastern suffered a serious lack of rain.
The scientists wrote about their recent work in the publication "Nature". Their computer program
