Super El Niño smashes temperature records months before expected peak
This year’s El Niño is on course to be the largest in at least *1,000* years. That’s going to drive excess heat into the atmosphere and combined with man-made heating will make 2027 the hottest year ever recorded. #climatecrisis
Mark Chadbourn79I wrote about this here:
Shared Ground5Why aren't governments worldwide treating #climatecrisis with the same urgency and determination that fixed the ozone layer?
sndrtj.bsky.social4ACs here in the Netherlands are _still_ sold out. I really need to get one this winter. I don't want to spend another 40C summer without one.
Ruby Ninepins4Hottest summer on record for the US; very high number of tornadoes in the USA; towering forest fires & their downwind hazards; oddly, zero hurricanes thus far; rapid glacier melts; and, apocalyptic flash floods. All that in 2026. The climate crisis is here, folks. But, wait, there's more!
Dr. Jonathan Foley3Uh, I don’t think the science is really solid on this yet… bsky.app/profile/mich...
Epstein files or bust 🇺🇦2As one frog said to the other, I dunno why there’s onions in this bath.
Michael E. Mann44Yes, this is a huge El Niño. No, @theguardian.com we do not have a reliable thousand year-long record of El Niño (e.g. a continuous reconstruction of the Niño3 or Niño3.4 SST index) so this statement is not warranted. What's the attribution for that claim?
Tristan Grayford20It is in this climate that both the SNP and Labour think they're triangulating their way to victory by backing new drilling in the North Sea
Beth Day12Well, Earth was nice while it lasted.
Bev Pausche, APR5“El Niño comes and goes, but as long as we continue to burn fossil fuels it occurs on an increasingly hotter baseline, making it much more difficult for communities to deal with the consequences.”
Micha3Moin. ☕ 🍵 #MerzKannEsNicht #Reiche auch nicht! #CDU #Merz sieht #Klimaschutz in #Politik überbewertet: „Es ist eben nicht so, dass morgen die Welt untergeht“ Der diesjährige El Niño ist auf dem besten Weg, der stärkste seit mindestens *1.000* Jahren zu werden. Dadurch wird ...
The current El Niño is likely to be the largest in at least 1,000 years and will pile extra heat into an atmosphere in which temperatures are already rising rapidly due to human-caused global heating. This double whammy means 2027 is expected to become the hottest year ever recorded.
Raimo Kangasniemi21One around 850 is thought to have played a role at least in the collapse of the Moche and Wari cultures in South America.
Aster Vérité5Canada's PM Mark Carney: "Norwegian PM Store and I just signed a monumental agreement to massively increase fossil fuel utilization and exports to the world. Because, well neither of us has held a Guinness world record before... Oh and for shits & giggles"
Green Hombre5We knew this was coming for at least 40 years. But the polluters decided rather than change, or abandon stranded capital, the human race would commit suicide. Many of the people who pushed that agenda are still alive. We should bring them to justice.
The Serfs (youtube.com/theserfstv)151So mass mobilization time? Tell your friends and family. Get everyone on board. It seems like an insurmountable battle because we're not all talking about it to each other
Mary Gillis90I have zero faith that most Canadian politicians are taking this seriously or preparing for it in any significant way.
What if a dyke was a deer was a coyote7well you see this is a small price to pay for giving computers anxiety and cranking the cost of everything by 50%
Ruby, pretty ape machine7at the risk of repeating myself, every year that ticks by without a worldwide revolution to stop the corporations and capitalists who are doing this to the world means millions more dead in the future voting not only isn't harm reduction, but enabling the perpetuation of the deadly status quo
Max Renner6Clearly, the only solution is to quickly build more data centers so AI can solve climate change 🚀🚀🚀
Joey McAllister560-something years ago, my grandfather called my grandmother and told her he’d been offered a job. Would she rather move to Jacksonville, FL, or Chicago, IL? It was winter in Tuscaloosa, their heat was broken, and she had three little kids. And that’s why I was eventually born in Florida.
EllenA + Orcas5I hate my Prime Minister.
Mars4Well, this should be fun. Good thing we at least have top notch government services here like FEMA and NOAA to...yeah, I can't. We're cooked.
Mark Pickens3El Nino makes the extremes of wet and dry even worse. Follow @weatherprof.bsky.social and @climateguyw.bsky.social for daily details.
Jules2Again, it's both a near-certainty that 2027 is going to be global climate bedlam and that we likely don't have the political wherewithal to mitigate it before the Northern Hemisphere summer. I questioned even sharing this, but ultimately I hope it's slightly better to understand and expect it.
Yes, this is a huge El Niño. No, @theguardian.com we do not have a reliable thousand year-long record of El Niño (e.g. a continuous reconstruction of the Niño3 or Niño3.4 SST index) so this statement is not warranted. What's the attribution for that claim? www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Heather Clitheroe 🇨🇦3Indigenous communities have kept long records in a number of ways - I've seen a winter count robe that had weather data going back quite some time. There's a good paper out of Ecology and Evolution here about weaving Indigenous knowledge with Western: doi.org/10.1002/ece3...
Svante Thunberg3No idea what to make of this study but it was been in the news a couple of weeks ago. Coral records apparently. ecomagazine.com/news/researc...
Old_Snowflake1I was just wondering where this came from.
The current El Niño is likely to be the largest in at least 1,000 years piling more heat into an atmosphere rapidly overheating due to human caused activities. None of this should be a surprise, the science has long been clear. Our governments have failed us. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Alex Ries46Australians; service your aircons and get a good respirator in case the forests catch fire.
Marcos Castro3Niño could turn this winter into a humanitarian crisis of extreme temperatures, climate disasters and food insecurity. Yet national agendas look away, responding with imperialism. Without multilateral cooperation on decarbonization and degrowth there will be no mitigation and ultimately no survival.
WHY does this not frighten the bloody life out of everyone, especially governments, who are the only ones who can seriously do anything about it??? www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Dean Burnett3We seem to live in a surreal world where a total idiot can be president. Genocide and the murder of children and babies is acceptable. The rich can keep getting richer and pay little taxes, while the working class pay more. Utilities can charge what they want. Data centres are essential. And climate
John Steel3Either our "leaders" are simply ignorant & don't know what the consequences are or they do know and don't care. Maybe they've booked a seat on Musk's Mars shuttle or have a room booked in Zuckerberg's bunker? I despair.
