The Earth may be facing a new phase of the natural weather phenomenon El Niño. According to the BBC, citing climate researchers, this could begin within the coming weeks. El Niño is known to significantly raise global average temperatures.
The planet is already suffering from the effects of human-caused climate change. An additional temperature boost from El Niño could further exacerbate already extreme weather conditions. The exact impact will depend on the strength of the new phase.
