‘El Niño turbocharging climate change’, warns Gareth Redmond-King
Environment
Oliver Farry is pleased to welcome Gareth Redmond-King, Head of the International Programme at the Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit. As the World Meteorological Organization warns of a powerful El Niño event and its potentially far-reaching consequences, Redmond-King warns that El Niño should not be viewed as an isolated threat, but rather as an accelerant acting upon an already destabilised climate system. El Niño is “pouring fuel on that particular fire” of climate change. He describes the phenomenon as “turbocharging climate change” by adding heat to a warming planet.
