Global warming continues to raise temperatures across the globe, leading to extreme heat waves. Now, this situation is compounded by the natural cyclical phenomenon El Niño, which disrupts global weather patterns. El Niño is a natural occurrence that periodically affects climate, altering normal atmospheric circulation. When global warming and El Niño operate simultaneously, their effects can be even more severe. Researchers indicate that this combination may lead to record-breaking temperatures and erratic weather, impacting human health, agriculture, and ecosystems. This serves as a warning that the effects of climate change can be amplified by natural phenomena, creating more serious consequences. Experts call for attention to this factor and for strengthening climate resilience.
