The Biggest El Niño in Recorded History
What was said
""The models say a lot of different things. Actually, what the models predict is that the average state of the climate in the Pacific should look more and more like Elino as time goes on. And that has not happened. It has actually gone the other way for the last sort of few decades.""
Adam Sobel says research is still unclear on how human-driven warming affects El Niño. He says many climate models project a more El Niño-like average Pacific state, but recent observations have moved the other way.
