El Niño Surges Past Millennial Strength Record
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
The Pacific is now flexing El Niño muscles we've never measured in ten centuries, so we need to rewrite every risk model built on ancient averages.
💡 Why it matters
Stronger El Niños will amplify heatwaves, wildfires, and floods across the Pacific Rim, directly threatening food and water security for billions of people.
A new study using coral core records finds that current El Niño events are stronger than any in the past 1,000 years. Researchers attribute this heightened intensity to human-driven climate change.
