“I thought I would have time to prepare.”
IPCC 2023: “ High risks are now assessed to occur at lower global warming levels.”
We continue to underestimate the risk as we reach 1.5°C of heating. For the most part we are not prepared.

The El Niño’s engine room is still firing on all cylinders. Upper-ocean heat in 180–100°W surges past 2.5°C, fueling the intensifying event. Brace for impact.

“The 2026 global SST surpasses the 2024 global SST by mid-June; thus, given the lag, 2024 might remain warmer than 2026 in July, but the final five months of the year should have 2026 as warmer than
2024. We expect the gap in the stretch run (November, December) to be so large as to (unfortunately) make 2026 the hottest year - until 2027, which will be even hotter.”—Hansen et al
