David Wallace-Wells, welcome to the show.
Thanks for having me.
Good to be here.
Just about everybody has heard the term El Nino, but I think most of us, myself included for the most part until very recently, don't really know what it is.
So let's just start there.
What is an El Nino?
How is it that warming in one part of the Pacific scrambles weather patterns?
across the world?
I mean, it's very butterfly effect-y, but is there a fairly simple causal explanation here?
What is particularly scary about this El Niño?
Why do scientists seem to be alarmed?
David, it definitely does not inspire confidence that researchers are using terms like Godzilla El Nino and Super Duper El Nino.
That does not sound awesome.
I mean, when will this thing officially arrive?
When will we actually start to feel this thing?
How unevenly will the effects of this be distributed in this country, for instance, right?
Who will see more rain?
Who will see more droughts?
Who will feel this thing the most regionally?
The last super El Nino was, I think, 2015, 2016.
