Study confirms 37% intensification of El Niño-Southern Oscillation due to climate change

Analysis of ancient coral samples from the Galápagos Islands indicates that anthropogenic climate change has increased the intensity of El Niño events by 37% compared to pre-industrial levels. The findings, published in Science, provide empirical evidence linking historical climate shifts to current ENSO variability, though the long-term predictive impact on specific weather patterns remains subject to further modeling.
