Title: ENSO, past and future: ENSO by proxy and ENSO in the tea leaves
Abstract: In this chapter we review what is known about ENSO as recorded in paleoclimatic proxies, and what is expected for ENSO as we enter a climate state altered by anthropogenic greenhouse gases. In neither case can we confidently construct a reliable picture from instrumental data; in one case we draw inferences from proxies to reconstruct what the climate was, and in the other we rely on imperfect models to foretell the future.
