Deep in the Pacific Ocean, conditions may be aligning for the return of a powerful El Niño event, and some scientists are increasingly concerned about what could happen if it continues to strengthen. Often nicknamed "Godzilla El Niño" when it reaches extreme levels, this climate phenomenon has the power to influence weather across the entire planet, bringing floods, droughts, heat waves, and powerful storms to different regions at the same time. New observations of ocean temperatures and atmospheric patterns are raising questions about whether another unusually strong event could be developing beneath the surface. While researchers are still debating exactly how intense it may become, many agree that the Pacific is showing signs that deserve close attention. This video explores what scientists are seeing right now, why El Niño has such enormous global impacts, and whether the world could be facing the next climate giant.
