The Guardian, on Climate, 15 November 2026
We do not republish articles from The Guardian. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
Read the original article on theguardian.com (opens in a new tab)The Guardian reports that a very strong El Niño is adding to climate-driven disasters as Cop31 meets in Turkey, with drought in the Marshall Islands, expected displacement in east Africa and a shortfall in adaptation finance. The article separates the natural El Niño cycle from human-caused warming and ties the extremes it reports to the climate crisis. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“a naturally recurring phenomenon where the eastern Pacific heats up every few years with temporary but global implications”
The Guardian explains what El Niño is and that it recurs naturally, so the reader can tell it apart from the long-term warming the article describes elsewhere. Neither is collapsed into the other.
“the galloping pace of the climate crisis”
In its own voice the outlet puts the reported extremes in the context of ongoing human-driven warming. It does not present El Niño as the only cause.
“it’s on top of having to deal with rising seas that threaten our homes and drinking water”
The article gives space to the Marshall Islands climate envoy to describe what the drought and sea level rise mean for people's homes and water. The human effects stay concrete.
