Reaching net zero sooner could limit long-lasting El Niño-like shift in the Pacific
Key Points
Reaching net zero sooner would limit long-lasting changes to El Niño and the tropical Pacific, new climate modeling suggests, although heat stored deep in the ocean means changes to the tropical Pacific could persist for centuries.
