Growing evidence links climate change to stronger El Niño events
Original: Evidence builds showing climate change could be intensifying El Niño events
New reporting by Mongabay outlines a growing body of research suggesting climate change may be intensifying El Niño events, the periodic warming of the Pacific Ocean that drives droughts, floods and heatwaves worldwide. Scientists are examining whether warmer ocean temperatures are making these episodes more frequent or more extreme, with major implications for global weather patterns.
Why now: Concern over increasingly extreme global weather linked to El Niño is keeping the climate science debate in the spotlight.
