Study Finds Human-Caused Climate Change Strengthens El Nino Events by Over 36%
A recent study published in Science finds that El Ninos have become over 36% stronger since the mid-1800s due to human-driven climate change, with a 16% increase in the last 40 years indicating acceleration. These events, characterized by warming in the equatorial Pacific, disrupt global weather, causing extreme heat, floods, and droughts, and can result in significant economic damage. Experts highlight the growing intensity of El Ninos and their widespread environmental and societal impacts.
