    Our text states that a lot of research must be done before ESNO cycles can potentially be linked to anthropogenic global warming (Kitchen, 2016). Dr. McPhaden with the NOAA and NASA scientists have been researching this issue and working on climate models. They have determined that there is significant probability that extreme El Nino events will double in the 21st century. Rather than extreme ESNO events occurring about every 20 years, they will occur every ten years. These extreme climatic events
