Faster net zero could curb lasting El Niño-like Pacific shift
Original: Reaching net zero sooner could limit long-lasting El Niño-like shift in the Pacific
New research suggests that reaching net zero carbon emissions sooner could limit a long-lasting El Niño-like shift in the tropical Pacific. Scientists warn that continued warming may lock the Pacific into a persistent pattern resembling El Niño, with wide-ranging effects on global weather. The findings add weight to calls for faster emissions cuts to avoid triggering enduring changes in ocean and atmospheric circulation.
Why now: New climate research links the timing of net zero emissions to preventing a lasting El Niño-like change in the Pacific
