Geotimes February 2007 Carolyn Gramling	Past El Ninos Portend Future Climates A new study examining evidence of long-term variability at El Nino's source suggests the strength of the phenomenon is highly sensitive to even small changes in climate. That sensitivity could have implications for how it plays into future climate change.
