Study: El Niño Could Trigger Abrupt Climate Shift, Not Movie-Scale Disaster

A University of Southampton researcher analyzes the plausibility of a 'Day After Tomorrow' scenario, concluding that while an abrupt climate shift is theoretically possible, a movie-like disaster is unlikely. The study highlights the potential for El Niño to trigger rapid climate changes, but the exact mechanisms and timescales remain uncertain. This matters as it informs climate risk assessments and public understanding of extreme climate scenarios.
