Super El Niño May Push an Already Stressed Climate Ecosystem Across a Critical Threshold, Climate Change Researcher Says
Scientists say an exceptionally strong El Niño could drive sudden climate shifts and worsen droughts, floods and food shortages worldwide.
- Scientists warned Wednesday that a developing 'super El Niño' could push global temperatures more than 1.7 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, potentially becoming the strongest on record.
- Meteorologist Ben Noll reported Wednesday that the ECMWF projects the event will peak near +4.0 degrees Celsius above average this December, obliterating the previous record of +2.6 degrees Celsius.
- The World Economic Forum recently called the coming event 'more than a climate event,' warning it could simultaneously disrupt global food and energy systems worldwide.
- North East Herts MP Chris Hinchliff urged Andy Burnham to lead the Climate Security Taskforce for the next year, calling for 'swift and decisive' cross-government actions.
- Scientists warn the event could trigger irreversible climate regime shifts, with the Amazon rainforest potentially transitioning to a degraded state and reversing its role as a carbon sink.

The El Niño phenomenon again raises concerns among climate specialists after new weather models pointed to an exceptional warming of the Pacific Ocean, which has been named the Super El Niño 2026.If this trend is confirmed, some experts consider that El Niño 2026 could become the most intense episode recorded in almost a thousand years, with effects that would reach different regions of the world.
Horror as 'super El Niño' threatens disaster not seen in 1,000 years
Weather scientists watching the Pacific Ocean are witnessing something they've never seen — a "super El Niño" now forecast to blow past every record in the modern era, with one meteorologist claiming it could be the most extreme climate event in a thousand years.The alarm intensified Wednesday when meteorologist Ben Noll flagged a new outlook from the European weather model, the ECMWF, projecting the event will peak near +4.0 degrees Celcius abo…
