But despite the brief respite, experts say the record drought is here to stay. The El Nino weather phenomenon -- caused when a rise in the Pacific Ocean's temperature triggers intense precipitation -- has provided only "a band-aid on a gaping wound,' says Julien Emile-Geay, a paleoclimatologist at the University of...
