Fig. 1. Proportion of extreme El Niño events amongst all El Niño events (A) Present, (B) CO2 ramp-up, (C) CO2 ramp-down, (D) CO2 restoring At present, only around 8% of all El Niño events qualify as extreme El Niño events. However, during a warming period, this figure doubles to 16%, and even when CO2 reduction efforts are implemented, it continues to rise, potentially reaching 34% of all El Niño events. This is approximately four times the current rate.
