1 00:02:06,877 --> 00:02:09,917 You ever wonder why they call it that? El Niño. 2 00:02:11,340 --> 00:02:15,890 It starts with something so small and so insignificant: an anchovy. 3 00:02:16,386 --> 00:02:19,346 See, the anchovy, it prospers most in temperate waters. 4 00:02:19,431 --> 00:02:23,311 So when equatorial trade winds, when they brought cold water westward, 5 00:02:23,393 --> 00:02:26,653 it slowly broiled under the beating sun. 6 00:02:26,730 --> 00:02:31,070 And by the time it reached Chimbote, Peru, which is the anchovy capital of the world, 7 00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:35,361 the warming waters were completely uninhabitable for the anchovy. 8 00:02:35,447 --> 00:02:36,737 That's so sad. 9 00:02:37,950 --> 00:02:39,280 Oh, no. Gets worse. 10 00:02:39,368 --> 00:02:40,488 The economy suffered. 11 00:02:40,577 --> 00:02:42,747 I mean, everything suffered, not just the fish. 12 00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:45,749 The aquatic seabirds that fed on the anchovies, 13 00:02:45,832 --> 00:02:49,592 from the gannets to the cormorants to the pelicans, they all died. 14 00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:51,670 And then so did the animals that fed on them. 15 00:02:52,381 --> 00:02:56,801 And because this phenomenon would, without fail, 16 00:02:56,885 --> 00:03:00,255 coincide with the celebration of the birth of Christ, 17 00:03:00,347 --> 00:03:04,427 they called it El Niño de Navidad. "The Christmas Boy." 18 00:03:06,311 --> 00:03:09,021 Come on. You gotta hand it to the Peruvians. 19 00:03:09,106 --> 00:03:15,106 I mean, something so destructive in such harmless packaging. "El Niño de Navidad." 20 00:03:15,195 --> 00:03:18,365 I mean, this thing that seems so insignificant, 21 00:03:18,448 --> 00:03:22,948 winds that make the water too hot for this tiny little fish to live, but no. 22 00:03:23,370 --> 00:03:27,920 It's a harbinger of something that throws everything out of whack. 23 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,960 I mean, droughts, floods, storms. I mean, huge global events. 24 00:03:32,629 --> 00:03:35,629 But there's nothing you can do to stop the wind from blowing. 25 00:03:36,508 --> 00:03:40,928 So what can you do when you see all these little anchovies belly up in the water? 26 00:03:43,473 --> 00:03:47,103 You just keep on moving. And you brace yourself for the shitstorm. 27 00:03:49,521 --> 00:03:51,731 Come on, pal! Hurry up! 28 00:03:54,067 --> 00:03:56,067 Hello, everyone.
