In the YouTube video "Sistema de Alerta - mudanças climáticas afetam colheita do pêssego," the speaker discusses how the earlier blooming of pear trees due to warmer temperatures caused by the El Niño phenomenon has negatively impacted pear production in Brazil. The warmer temperatures led to issues with fruit development and an increase in pear diseases, resulting in significant losses for producers like Luiz Carlos in Santa Áurea. The Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) offers farmers temperature, wind, humidity data, and the accumulation of cold hours online at [www.cpisp.org.br/Agropet](http://www.cpisp.org.br/Agropet) to help determine crop quality and yield. This year, Luiz Carlos is predicted to experience a decrease of up to 50% in pear production due to the lack of cold hours during the critical growing period.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Sistema de Alerta - mudanças climáticas afetam colheita do pêssego," the speaker discusses how the lack of cold weather during the last winter has affected the production of pears in Brazil. The warmer temperatures caused the pear trees to bloom earlier, which in turn affected the timing of the harvest and the emergence of pear diseases. The speaker explains that the warmer temperatures are due to the El Niño phenomenon, which causes ocean temperatures near Central America to be warmer than normal, leading to less cold weather and more rain. The pear producer in the region of Santa Áurea, Luiz Carlos, is experiencing a significant loss in production this year, with a predicted decrease of up to 50% compared to previous years. The lack of cold hours during the critical growing period has led to issues with fruit development and an increase in pest infestations. The Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) provides farmers with information on temperature, wind, and humidity data, as well as the accumulation of cold hours, which are crucial for determining the quality and yield of crops. These data can be accessed online at [www.cpisp.org.br/Agropet](http://www.cpisp.org.br/Agropet).
