Scientists are still unraveling the relationship between El Niño and human-driven warming, but new research suggests they are troublingly linked.

As the senior climate editor at NPR, when extreme weather impacts us, I often send out guidance to the newsroom to help everyone understand the role of climate change. Here's what I tell them.

Coral skeletons reveal El Niño is stronger than at any point in 1,000 years. Scientists say human-caused climate change is the reason.

According to Burning Man’s 2025 census data, over the past decade, the number of people making more than $100,000 in annual income has sharply increased, while those making less than $100,000 has decreased.
