New paper shows no ‘average’ change in El Ninos due to CO2: Paper published today in Geophysical Research Letters
Study find 'the overall response to CO2 increases is determined using 27 [climate] models, and the ENSO [the El Nino Southern Oscillation] amplitude change based on the multi-model mean is indistinguishable from zero." Alarmists, such as [UN IPCC's] Kevin Trenberth, claim that increased CO2 causes an increase in the frequency and intensity of El Ninos, but this paper finds that the mean response from climate models does not support his claims'
