One of the country’s leading climate scientists says there is “a good chance” for a “super El Niño” next winter, a powerful warming in the Pacific Ocean linked to wet winters in the Southwest.In a draft paper circulated to colleagues, NASA climate researcher James Hansen blames global warming for increasing the chance of extreme El Niños.
When they happen, such extreme El Niños can wreak weather havoc worldwide, from deep drought in Australia to flooding in California.
Hansen’s new paper drew a flurry of attention among scientists because of his standing as one of the nation’s most prominent climate scientists.
Since Hansen’s ingenious forecast, ENSO has gone sharply negative.
