Euronews Portugal28 August 2026 at 09:01

A new study seeks answers about the relationship between global warming and the El Niño climate phenomenon. The research comes in a context of growing concern about the impacts of climate change worldwide.

According to the article, El Niño can amplify the effects of global warming, creating a feedback loop that worsens extreme climate conditions. This climate phenomenon is known for causing droughts, floods, and other significant weather disruptions in various regions of the planet.

The scientists involved in the study are also investigating the possibility that burning fossil fuels is making El Niño more intense and destructive. This hypothesis suggests that human activities may be reinforcing one of the most powerful natural phenomena affecting Earth's climate.
