Record-breaking westerly wind bursts in the Pacific are currently driving warm water toward South America, signaling the imminent arrival of El Niño. Experts are warning this shift will trigger a global temperature surge, potentially making the years between 2026 and 2028 the hottest on record. Beyond rising heat, this climate pattern is expected to alter worldwide weather, impacting rainfall in Asia and Africa while influencing the intensity of hurricane and tornado seasons in the United States.
Is this already happening? I’m in Colorado where we have the smallest snow pack on record. And the second warmest winter on record. Its awful.
Bezos laid off 14 plus climate journalists while donating multiple millions to Trump. Turns out Democracy Dies in Darkness is just a slogan when you’re betting on fascism.
Good thing climate change is a hoax or I’d be worried.
**Edit** geez guys, it’s sarcasm. Leave my inbox alone
Migration from africa india into the west is pushing the population to skyrocket
This will mean incredible levels of global warming, the planet will cook.
The UN is funding that migration, pushing for it to get bigger.
What is the population forecast now 12 bn max ?
In some models there is no max, meaning 15 bn plus on the current trajectory
So many people means incredible increase in energy use.
Add that to the AI use of energy, absolutely mind boggling increase.
Forget about climate change, there is no way to stop it now.
Better if you live in a northern country it will become like the tropics.
Australia already 45/50 C in the heat.
Seen EL Niño at work where it affects very directly. Lima, Peru flips to being clear and hot in the Winter when it’s normally chilly and foggy and the Andes switch to rain when it’s supposed to be clear. Rain and thunder in the desert which is also not normal. Last time it ended up creating a dengue epidemic.
Honestly, bring it on. Humanity has shown its total disregard for life and for our planet. The species deserves to burn.
Is it cool if Australia sits this one out? It’s not been a real fun summer
Well, we’ve known the impact of the human element for the last century, but that doesn’t work for shareholders, so I’m not even sure what we’re supposed to do at this point. The greed of people runs too deep to do much of anything. Brace ourselves? Hope all the folks pulling the levers decide that “you can’t make money if everyone is dead, maybe we should fix this”?
