EVENT DOSSIER
A study based on reconstructions of sea surface temperature from Pacific corals shows that the frequent occurrence of severe El Niño events over the past century is not accidental; it is a continuation of global warming caused by human-induced climate change. A study led by Julia Cole and others confirms that climate warming caused by human activities is significantly enhancing El Niño phenomena. Published in *Science* (2026), this research provides further evidence for “human activities exacerbating El Niño”.
一项太平洋海表温度重建研究证实，人类活动导致的气候变暖正在增强厄尔尼诺现象。由 Julia Cole 等人基于珊瑚记录进行的分析显示，当前日益强劲的厄尔尼诺事件并非偶然，而是地球因人为气候变化而升温背景下，过去一个世纪强厄尔尼诺事件频发模式的延续。该研究发表于《Science》(2026)，为人类活动助推厄尔尼诺提供了进一步证据。
