Researchers warn that the El Niño phenomenon has intensified significantly over the last 40 years, more markedly than in the previous thousand years. This increase in intensity represents a substantial change in the historical pattern of this climate phenomenon.
According to scientists, an El Niño of "historical proportions" is currently forming in the tropical Pacific. This episode is considered particularly relevant by the international scientific community.
Some predictions indicate that this El Niño episode could cause global temperatures to rise to 1.7 or 1.8 degrees above pre-industrial levels, which represents a concerning figure in the context of climate change.
