ABSTRACT
However, if past history repeats itself and a warmer planet does coincide with stronger and more frequent ENSO events, this would have a significant, and pos - sibly devastating, impact on agriculture and ecosystems in Australia, Southeast Asia, East Africa, and India. It will also result in widespread shifts in regional climate patterns across the globe through teleconnections. Overall, there could be greater global uncertainty for rain-fed crops, fisheries, drinking water supplies, and commensurate economic activities (see water impacts and agriculture and food supply impacts).
