Description
Aoyun Xue and co-authors link the strongest El Nino events to abrupt climate shifts in a 2025 study. Climate regime shifts are sudden, lasting jumps between stable states, and they threaten ecosystems and human well-being. Such shifts seem to grow more frequent as the world warms, so their drivers matter.
Using observations and model simulations, the team found that shift risk rises significantly around super El Nino events. The huge climate disturbance of these events can push systems past tipping points. The findings add a warning: extreme El Nino years may leave permanent marks on regional climates.
