New excuse for ‘the pause’ – the wrong type of El Niños = ‘Could explain recent decade-scale slowdowns in global warming’
Press release from Geophysical Research Letters: 'Different types of El Nino have different effects on global temperature' - 'The El Niño–Southern Oscillation is known to influence global surface temperatures, with El Niño conditions leading to warmer temperatures and La Niña conditions leading to colder temperatures. However, a new study in Geophysical Research Letters shows that some types of El Niño do not have this effect, a finding that could explain recent decade-scale slowdowns in global warming.'
