Short summary
Global warming has triggered profound transformations in the Earth's climate system. Our study reveals a reduction in the connectivity of highly isolated nodes located along the Equator, particularly regarding their interactions with neighboring regions within the same oceanic basin. Conversely, these nodes display strengthened connections with specific continents, highlighting the intricate interplay between global warming and the evolving structure of climate networks.
