Climate extremes similar to what was seen in 2010\u2019s Pakistani flooding and 2011\u2019s Australian flooding are likely to continue as the world gets warmer, say scientists behind a new report.<\/p>\n

Researchers from the Universities of Oxford and Leeds have found that the El Ni\u00f1o Southern Oscillation (made up of El Ni\u00f1o and La Ni\u00f1a) will likely continue into a warmer Earth, based on findings that showed ENSO continued during Earth\u2019s last<\/em> great warm period, the Pliocene, when global mean temperatures were about 2-3\u00baC higher than today and carbon dioxide levels were similar to the present day.<\/p>\n

Because of the similarity in carbon dioxide levels and the added bump in temperatures, the Pliocene is a good predictor of what Earth\u2019s climate is likely to look like over the rest of the 21st<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n

The results of the study showed that the swinging between El Ni\u00f1o and La Ni\u00f1a continued during the warmer Pliocene, when scientists had expected El Ni\u00f1o to remain a constant factor in the Pacific. Instead, they have found that not only are El Ni\u00f1o and La Ni\u00f1a likely to continue to swing back and forth, but that they could even do so with more frequency.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know from previous studies that the mean state of the Pacific during the warm Pliocene was similar to the climate patterns observed during a typical El Ni\u00f1o event that we see today,\u201d said lead Scientist Nick Scroxton from Oxford University’s Department of Earth Sciences.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, until recently it was believed that a warmer Pacific would reduce the climate swings that cause the dramatic weather extremes throughout the region leading to a permanent state of El Ni\u00f1o. What we didn\u2019t expect was that climatic variability would remain strong under these warmer conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n
