And that does still lead to real human suffering.
I mean, the UN's World Food Program is predicting that an extra fifty million people will face food shortages because of this.
Wow.
So when you see a number like that, it just drives home the point that this is almost tantamount to to a war in terms of the human suffering and hunger that it brings on.
Normally these El Nino's last about twelve to fifteen months.
Some of the consequences are a bit delayed, as in even though the El Nino arrives in 2026, some of what we'll be seeing as the most lasting marks will be playing out next year.
Just explain that.
Well, heat.
Heat is the biggest thing.
The pattern that we see again and again with El Nino is that the year after they emerge, you have the hottest year on record.
So let's just go back in time a little bit.
There was a big El Nino that formed in 1997, which was at the time the hottest year on record.
Well, 1998 beat that record and became the new hottest year.
Then there was a big El Nino in 2015.
Which was again the new hottest year ever until 2016 came along.
Then there was a smaller but still significant El Nino in 2023, new hottest year ever.
Stolen the gold medal by 2024, as the El Nino was still playing out.
Now we don't know.
The record, of course, has gotten hotter and hotter and harder and harder to beat.
It's still unclear if 2026 will be the new hottest year ever.
