250-million-year-old El Niño phenomenon existed with historically intense events, Duke University study reveals.

A Duke University study reveals that the El Niño phenomenon, a significant climate oscillation linked to global weather changes, has existed for over 250 million years. Utilizing advanced climate modeling, researchers found that historical El Niño events were often more intense than current instances. This research underscores the importance of understanding past climates for creating accurate future climate projections, challenging the assumption that El Niño is a recent development.
