Very bad. Simply put, scientists are warning that the Pacific Ocean is likely to get extremely hot in late 2026 — way hotter than anything we've seen in modern records. This could supercharge already worsening extreme weather globally: stronger storms, bigger floods/droughts, heatwaves, and disruptions to farming, food production and ecosystems. All bets are off for how bad it gets. We're in new climate territory. This Nino will pass, but it will leave scars and it will give us a preview of what the future holds if emissions keep rising and such heat and weather become the baseline. If we do not make governments take action to force polluters to stop and to pay for their damage, and to invest in the shift to renewable energy and electrification as if our lives depend on it, we may not survive the next big El Niño. #MakeOilHistory #ClimateCrisis #EnergyRevolution #ElNino https://o.mastodon.nz/media_attachments/files/116/776/716/782/252/307/original/77d165b9d15497ef.png npub1ys8g7lvqzrd64j0h8h8s7draf20mj6qs4kpv5u9h3acgp3e9arns728hr4 Nick Young :tinoflag: Today is #WorldWindDay, and so a good time to remember that no one ever went to war over wind!
