Extreme El Niños projected to increase, net zero could limit them
Original: Extreme El Niños are coming. Reaching net zero sooner means facing fewer of them https:// theconversation.com/extreme-el
Researchers warn that extreme El Niño events are expected to become more frequent as the planet warms. According to a new analysis, cutting greenhouse gas emissions to net zero sooner would reduce the number of these severe events. El Niños drive droughts, floods and heatwaves worldwide, so the timing of emissions cuts matters for how many societies ultimately face.
Why now: New research linking the pace of net zero emissions cuts to the frequency of extreme El Niño events is drawing climate discussion.
