A new study suggests that El Ninos—the natural climatic chaos agent that pops up periodically and spikes global temperatures—are getting stronger because of human-caused climate change.

Nature, Published online: 27 August 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-02717-9 A reconstruction of Pacific Ocean sea surface temperatures adds to the evidence that human-caused warming is boosting El Niño events.
As an El Niño of historic proportions is taking shape in the tropical Pacific, a University of Michigan study has found that El Niño events have become nearly 40% stronger in the last 40 years than they were in the preindustrial era.
By Andrew Freedman, CNN (CNN) — The climate pattern that drives El Niño is becoming more erratic as the planet warms, and El Niño itself is becoming more intense, according to a comprehensive new study published Thursday.
Scientists went to the heart of the El Niño pattern to learn from living and fossil corals. The results show El Niño’s intensifying coincides with global warming.

Annette Young is pleased to welcome Gareth Redmond-King, Head of the International Programme at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit. He warns we are entering a period in which climate change is not only intensifying extreme weather but adding greater instability to the climate system itself.
WASHINGTON — A new study suggests that El Ninos — the natural climatic chaos agent that pops up periodically and spikes global temperatures — are getting stronger because of human-caused climate change.
Temperatures have warmed dramatically across the equatorial Pacific Ocean in 2026, signaling the onset of a strong and potentially historic El Niño. These events can affect weather around the world, and the intensity of recent El Niño events is raising alarm that, as global temperatures rise, they a…
Talk about a vicious circle. A team of climate scientists lead by Judith Cole at the University of Michigan has published new research in the journal Science this week. Here’s what Cole told The Guardian about that research. “We are seeing a trend of stronger El Niños and the one ... [continued]
