Torkan tvingar Costa Rica att ransonera elen

Costa Rica tvingas ransonera elen, som ett i raden av länder som inte längre kan möta befolkningens basbehov på grund av klimatförändringarna. Det rapporterar AFP.

Den globala uppvärmningen i kombination med väderfenomenet El Niño orsakar svår torka på flera håll i Syd- och Mellanamerika, skriver nyhetssajten CR Hoy. Eftersom Costa Ricas el till största delen kommer från vattenkraft måste elen stängas av några timmar per dag.

Flera länder i regionen har tvingats ransonera el och vatten på grund av den extrema torkan.

El Niño väntas upphöra i juni – men följs med 49 procents sannolikhet direkt av La Niña som i så fall fortsätter orsaka torka fram till augusti. Längre fram är sannolikheten ännu högre för torka, uppger USA:s klimatinstitut CPC för Reuters.
