"You’ve probably heard a lot about La Niña lately. This cool weather pattern is
the main driver of heavy rain and flooding that has devastated much of
Australia’s southeast in recent months.
You may also have heard of El Niño, which alternates with La Niña every few
years. El Niño typically brings drier conditions to much of Australia.
Together, the two phases are known as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation – the
strongest and most consequential factor driving Earth’s weather. And in recent
years there has been much scientific interest in how climate change will
influence this global weather-maker.
Our new research, released today, sheds light on the question. It found climate
change will clearly influence the El Niño-Southern Oscillation by 2030 – in
just eight years’ time. This has big implications for how Australians prepare
for extreme weather events."
