Hello my name is Rich and I accept the reality of how bad climate change is. The first step to solve any problem is to accept you have a problem #stayinformedcc

...so that surface anomalies near 5°C at the end of the year do not appear completely unimaginable, and huge amounts of heat will be released to the atmosphere. In this case, the 2026/27 El Niño would even be stronger than the "super" El Niño of 1877/78. Credit: cyclonicwx.com.

Time series of daily values of subsurface temperature in the eastern tropical Pacific, starting on 1 May 2026. It shows that the thermocline has lowered by ~50 m, creating an enormous heat source which we can't (yet) see at the surface. Subsurface T anomalies are up to 9°C,...

So far this year we've had: the warmest winter on record in the mountain west, a record-shattering heat wave in Europe, once in a thousand year rainfall and flooding texas and forest fire smoke blanketing the mid west and the north east. Feels like something's going on with the climate!

Heat Domes Dominate the Planet! Typically El Niño waits until fall to impact the jet stream, but this one is supercharged. That means the Tropical Pacific heat is already helping to reorganize atmospheric waves leading to persistent and intense heat domes in North America w/ downstream in Europe 1/
