Part 2: El Niño: From Titanic to Monsoons—The Climate Story That Changed Everything | The Rearview Podcast
This article summarizes the second part of The Rearview Podcast series on El Niño. Hosts Jacob Koshy and Sobhana K. Nair explore how ship's cooks aboard a research vessel detected signs of a major El Niño before scientists, and how the Titanic disaster may have been influenced by the climate phenomenon. The episode narrates the scientific detective story that united the warming of the Pacific Ocean (El Niño) with Gilbert Walker's Southern Oscillation, revealing them as two parts of the same global climate engine. This breakthrough transformed understanding of weather patterns worldwide, including monsoons. The podcast is produced and edited by Jude Weston.
