摘要

Aa a rather younger man, Bello arrived in Lima in November 1982 just as an unprecedentedly severe El Nino current was getting under way. The sea temperature climbed to 2.2℃ above average. Peru's northern desert became a lake; bridges, roads and power lines were washed away. Emaciated pelicans flapped forlornly over the city. In drought-stricken villages in Bolivia's barren Alti-plano, families ate their seed potatoes; their children were visibly malnourished. Bello is now back in Lima. It is early winter in the southern hemisphere yet the days are unseasonably warm and sunny. Starved of the Pacific anchovies on which they normally feed, hundreds of dead sea birds have appeared on beaches in northern Peru. These are unmistakable signs of the warming of the cold waters of the south-eastern Pacific, and thus of the approach of another El Nino.
