The Indian rice export ban, the war in Ukraine and El Niño are combining...

There's a war in El Niño? What does that even mean? I thought El Niño was a weather thing, not a location.

No no no... The war in Ukraine and El Nino are combining. Someone figured out how to weaponize the weather for use in the war.
