Study indicates 40% intensification of El Niño events linked to climate change

Research utilizing coral analysis in the Galápagos Islands suggests El Niño events have intensified by nearly 40% over the last four decades compared to the previous millennium. This amplification is projected to exacerbate global climate volatility, including droughts, floods, and food insecurity, though the precise long-term impact on specific regional weather patterns remains subject to modeling uncertainty.
