I'm living in a New Mexico forest that is full of dead pinyon pine trees after a beetle blight caused by a long term drought. The wildfire danger is extreme. A super El Nino would be an answer to our prayers. I wouldn't choose it at the cost of millions dead, but for us it would be a gift from above. Not a pardon, but maybe a reprieve.

> NOAA has now placed the probability of a Super El Niño forming by winter at over 95%.

This claim appears to be false. According to this article's own source, the probability of an El Niño of any severity forming is over 95%, but there is still "substantial uncertainty" about what that severity is going to be.

Stupid question: how do they know with such fidelity what the water temp was in the Pacific in 1877?

It’s not like solid land where there are strata and whatnot that leave a geological record? Or is it?

Just imagine how much energy is required to produce that band at planetary scale.

There’s been so much climate alarmism since Al Gore decided to pivot to ‘hero of humanity’ that it barely registers for me now. I still have frozen rice and beans from covid. Hope they’re still good.
