Net Zero Speaks to Jong-Seong Kug

Why does El Niño keep catching the world off guard—and why are extreme weather events getting worse? In Net Zero Speaks, host Pranav Kumar Gahadwal sits down with leading climate scientist Professor Jong-Seong Kug (Seoul National University) to break down how El Niño is evolving in a warming world. Learn how rising ocean temperatures are driving stronger floods, droughts, and heatwaves—and why climate models still struggle to predict their full impact. Kug explains “teleconnections,” global ripple effects, and why early warnings are critical for food security and disaster preparedness. A must-watch for anyone tracking climate change, extreme weather, and the future of global climate forecasting.
