You know, nuclear power stations in France that couldn't run because the level of the water in the rivers was too low or too hot.
We've seen so many aspects of this.
Governments reacting to the events.
But the bigger question of whether they're taking action on the driving force of this, the emissions of carbon dioxide, that is still in play.
And governments are less concerned.
shall we say, committed than they were.
They're more distracted by other things, the cost of living crisis, wars in various places.
And I think we'll see in the next few months when political leaders get together just how stuck they are on this particular issue.
Yes, that's right.
I mean, the scientists were saying that we're seeing a rising, a rapidly rising El Niño, and it might be one of the strongest, possibly the strongest we've ever felt in the world.
And we're not really seeing the full impact of that on temperatures yet.
That's likely to be at the peak when it's November, December later this year and into next year that we'll see that heat coming up out of the oceans, mostly in the Pacific and impacting the atmosphere.
But we're already seeing it in monsoons in various parts of the world.
We're already seeing the fingerprints of it.
in that.
So I think there'll be a lot more to come on the scale of El Nino and the impact it'll have on temperatures over the next number of
I think it's worth bearing in mind that this current El Niño was only declared just over two months ago in June.
And that declaration means the temperatures in the water have reached uh zero point five degrees above the long term average.
Now that's gone from that to two degrees in a couple of months.
It's likely to go higher to at least three degrees according to the Met Office, maybe four degrees according to other forecasts.
