A recent study reveals that the ongoing El Niño phenomenon, dubbed a 'Godzilla' event, is being intensified by climate change driven by fossil fuel emissions. This El Niño is projected to be the strongest in recent history, potentially affecting global weather patterns and food security for millions.
The research indicates that the frequency and intensity of El Niño events have increased significantly since the late 19th century, correlating with rising global temperatures. As a result, countries may face heightened climate-related challenges, including droughts and floods, impacting food production and exacerbating hunger.
