Faster net zero cuts could limit lasting El Niño-like Pacific shift
Original: Reaching net zero sooner limits long-lasting El Niño-like shift in the Pacific
New research indicates that reaching net zero carbon emissions sooner would limit a long-lasting El Niño-like shift in the tropical Pacific, a change that could lock in for centuries and alter weather patterns worldwide. The findings suggest the timing of emissions reductions matters not just for warming levels but for preventing lasting reorganisation of Pacific climate dynamics.
Why now: The study highlights that acting sooner on emissions can prevent potentially irreversible ocean-atmosphere changes in the Pacific.
