Study warns El Niño could trigger extreme coastal flooding 50 to 60 years early

Climate researchers have warned that El Niño has heated Pacific Ocean waters to extreme levels, causing water levels to rise by as much as 1.3 feet. They said major flooding, not expected for another 50-60 years, could occur now. Researchers added that tides are already abnormally high this year due to Moon’s 18.6-year lunar nodal cycle, worsening the situation.
