Climate Change Intensifying El Niño
A new study using fossil corals from the Galápagos Islands suggests that El Niño events are becoming stronger due to human-caused climate change. The research, published in Science, indicates that El Niño variability in the eastern Pacific has increased by about 37% since the preindustrial era. This intensification could lead to more frequent and severe weather extremes, posing risks to ecosystems, infrastructure, and societies.8 sourcesSee all sources
