Original: Evidence builds showing climate change could be intensifying El Niño events
New reporting by Mongabay outlines growing scientific evidence that climate change could be making El Niño events more intense. Researchers are examining whether warmer ocean temperatures linked to global warming are amplifying the periodic warming of the Pacific, which drives extreme weather worldwide, including floods, droughts and heatwaves across multiple continents.
Why now: Concern about increasingly severe El Niño-driven extreme weather and its link to global warming is drawing attention.
