Net zero sooner could limit lasting El Niño-like Pacific shift
Original: Reaching net zero sooner limits long-lasting El Niño-like shift in the Pacific Reaching net zero sooner would limit long
New climate modelling suggests that reaching net zero carbon emissions sooner would limit long-lasting El Niño-like changes to the tropical Pacific. Researchers caution, however, that heat already stored deep in the ocean means some changes to tropical Pacific patterns could persist even after emissions fall, making early action more effective than later cuts.
Why now: Fresh research linking emissions timing to long-term Pacific climate change gives climate talks a new argument for urgent action.
