A study of ancient coral reefs has revealed that the weather phenomenon known the (1) El Nino was most intense during the 20th century. El Nino, which has been present for (2) the past 130,000 years, is an atmospheric phenomenon occurring in the Pacific Ocean. It is known to contribute to (3) climatic disturbances along the western coast of Peru and Ecuador on (4) account of exceptionally warm ocean conditions it brings to (5). El Nino, which stands for (6) ‘the child' referring to (7) the infant Jesus Christ, appears in the regions every December around Christmas. Every three to seven years, El Nino brings about (8) being really severe and intense weather conditions. The disturbances strike when the warm ocean currents result in (9) a reversal in the normal weather conditions of the eastern and western Pacific. El Nino is responsible for (10) changes in the wind pattern, temperature of the air and the sea surface, which in (11) turn culminate into (12) heavy rainfalls in South America as well as (13) droughts in India and southern Africa. It is now said that El Nino can influence the climate of more than half the earth. It is also blamed for (14) recent droughts and floods in Australia. Researchers claim that El Nino's activity was never so (15) acute as during the last hundred years. Its intensity has been on (16) the increase since ice ages. The popular view is that El Nino's intense impact may be related to (17) global arming and emissions of greenhouse gases. Although there is no sufficient evidence to back up (18) the assumption, it is common knowledge that a great many global changes have come about (19) in climate ever before (20) the temperature on the planet started to increase.
