For what it's worth, when scientists talk about thresholds like 1.5C, they are talking about the global average, over 20 years. One year at 1.5C does not mean we've met that threshold.

Yeah I recently graduated from the best scientific institution in the country (Canada) and can tell you, based on first hand experience, their heads are so far up their asses wrt climate change. They’re far too busy patting themselves on the back for their overwhelming wisdom to actually affect any change or even be honest with the general public about the runaway exponential devastation that began decades ago.
1.5oC will be obliterated by the end of the decade let alone century.

To preempt the "but it was cool and wet instead", the article doesn't seem to clarify, some areas get the inverse for the el nino/la nina cycle. Texas always gets cool wet weather on el ninos and hot on la nina. The point the article is trying to make is thr global temps which bring extreme weather and drought in parts of the world. That is climate change, not just local heat waves

The heat churned up by El-Niño has nowhere to go if there's excessive greenhouse gases. For millions of years, El-Niño wasn't a major player. Because the heat could make it's way into space. But now, it will be a powerful El-Niño that plunges us into centuries of medieval conditions.

Heat will always have somewhere to go. The key thing is that more energy in the system yields greater bulk movement and fluctuation of volumes of air. It's how global warming can also contribute to unprecedented lows in addition to highs.
It's more like El Nino's energy will make things even windier and wetter, over a larger area and/or (but probably and) for a longer period of time.

Heat will always have somewhere to go.
What I meant by that is that too much of the heat can't get past the troposphere. When the molecules of greenhouse gases absorb heat from the earth's surface and collide with each other, it scatters in all directions. Including down. There has been a global heat spike after a powerful El-Niño, ever since the one in 1998. The world temperature has not dropped below average for 456 consecutive months.

Right after biblical, once-in-a-century, heavy rainstorms in California, particularly in the Bay Area.
Also like El Niño and the summer heatwaves, La Niña this winter amplified normal showers to hurricane-strength hellscapes. Both because of climate change.

Actually, this was a topic 10? 15? years ago regarding climate change. Something about the particular type of coal china had been stock piling. Something like, it produced more particulate matter, and could, in theory, reduce global warming. I don't recall the whole theory, or what happened to the coal.

My state will be a furnace this year compared to what i’m seeing way up north in the comments. The sonoran desert is going to be very inhospitable.
What I mean to say is, if it’s been that bad in the Great North the past couple summers, then this year is going to be just flat out brutal for us.
I’m not looking forward to it. Need to find a desk job at home.

Humans are ultimately like cockroaches in terms of resilience. Barring things like a gamma ray burst or chicxulub level event--humans will continue to live (even if not at the standards of today) in some capacity on the planet for likely millions of years.
If the humans made it out of the ice age with a global population that was likely in the thousands--extremely unlikely that even full on nuclear war will kill off humanity.

Unless you plan on living with the mole men and lizard people this either seems like a fever dream or some climate denial bullshit. If we don't fix this shit soon there won't be a human race. The earth will be just fine in the end when we're wiped off the face of it from climate change. Saying "oh some humans will somehow make it" just feels like bullshit to not try to fix it.

El Niño is just a measurement of ocean temps, the ocean only changes a couple degrees but has a large part of what the weather does. The water temp around Alaska has a bigger play in the weather in the states than the water temp around Southern California.

"Maybe this will help convince the HOA board for my condo complex its time to let us install mini splits into the units in freaking Southern California. Last summer was bad enough it blew past 100 degrees inside and stupid high humidity. We all have these portable units but they aren't even remotely energy efficient.",
">\n\nMini split = window ac unit or something? I haven’t heard that term before. Lol",
">\n\nMini split is basically heat pump/ ac unit that is ductless. Still has hoses/ pipes that you run to units in different rooms but isn't as massive as a conventional ac system. They are pretty energy efficient and about to become even more so efficient with the recent advancements the Germans have done with using sound waves to transfer transfer heat from air.",
">\n\nI hadn't heard about the sound wave thing, is there a name for the process?",
">\n\nIt already has. The same tech powers the cooling system of the James Webb.",
">\n\nCan't really compare the commercial market to stuff used in one of the most technologically advanced things we've ever made.",
">\n\nSo a hot year and high chance of bushfires here in Australia. Last major bushfire season we had here, the fires lasted almost an entire year.",
">\n\nKamloops here and we were dead center of well over 1000 active forest fires at one point that year. While we thankfully escaped any major damage due to fires, the smoke was absolutely insane. I'm positive the majority of people now have lung damage from not only that year, but about the 5 years prior which were almost as bad. Everyone seems to experience coughs taking much longer to heal.\nAs far as the temperatures go, we hit 47.3 °C which ended up being +50°C in the downtown area. The result of which was you could not touch metal out door handles for more than a second. These temperatures are no joke.\nI wonder how much longer this area will continue to be livable 😧\nAlso you forgot to mention that the entire town of Lytton burned down in 10 min.",
">\n\nI actually got my first migraine ever during that firey hellscape of a summer! I've been paranoid since then. Obsessively checking kamscan during the summer months",
">\n\nWell, that's not what I really wanted to hear after last summer in Seattle.",
">\n\nI feel you - Sacramento hit 117F last summer.\nTime to move to balmy, subtropical Fairbanks, AK.\nNinja edit - so Fairbanks sucks asshole too.\nOff to Galway it is!",
">\n\nBest idea Trump ever had was buying Greenland. That land up north gonna be prime real estate soon.",
">\n\nI know this is a joke but it actually is. With ice melt the northern passage will open & save thousands of miles for sea shipments. Greenland might turn into a tug of war between Russia & the US. Iirc the US already has nukes there.",
">\n\nThe northern passage is Canada’s internal waters.",
">\n\nHuh, TIL. Even Baffin Bay?",
">\n\nPartly, the other part would be Greenlandic (Danish). Hans island is within both Canadian/Greenlandic territorial waters so you can’t get through the nares straight without going through either Canadian or Greenlandic waters. Any waterway through the Canadian arctic archipelago is internal Canadian waters. We have indigenous groups that use them in the winter when they freeze over to travel between islands in the winter which would not be consistent with an international waters definitions. They waters are also very shallow. Some countries like the USA/some European countries dispute this though as viewing these waters as international waters is better for them politically, while fucking over Canadian sovereignty.",
">\n\nSounds like canada should get some of those portugese lawyers which allowed Portugals sea grab in the last few years",
">\n\nI dunno. Heat waves and major storms feel pretty precendented these days.",

">\n\nNot sure we believe in El Niño and La Niña anymore- California.",
">\n\nI don’t really know what’s going on, but I prefer water",
">\n\nCan’t believe we’re on the verge of crossing the 1.5C threshold already. The media made it sound like that shit was decades away. I’m so angry at those few individuals and corporations who are responsible for completely trashing our planet. I wish there was more we could do at the individual level, because there are a ton of really amazing people who want to help but who have no power and no billions to enact change. I hate feeling helpless about this.",
">\n\nFor what it's worth, when scientists talk about thresholds like 1.5C, they are talking about the global average, over 20 years. One year at 1.5C does not mean we've met that threshold.",
">\n\nYeah I recently graduated from the best scientific institution in the country (Canada) and can tell you, based on first hand experience, their heads are so far up their asses wrt climate change. They’re far too busy patting themselves on the back for their overwhelming wisdom to actually affect any change or even be honest with the general public about the runaway exponential devastation that began decades ago. \n1.5oC will be obliterated by the end of the decade let alone century.",
">\n\nTo preempt the \"but it was cool and wet instead\", the article doesn't seem to clarify, some areas get the inverse for the el nino/la nina cycle. Texas always gets cool wet weather on el ninos and hot on la nina. The point the article is trying to make is thr global temps which bring extreme weather and drought in parts of the world. That is climate change, not just local heat waves",

">\n\nA powerful El-Niño with CO2 as high as it is stands to change everything. Yet still, the fossil fuel industry and their right-wing stooges will have nothing to do with renewables.",
">\n\nEl nino is a natural occurence. Co2 isn't helping, but we don't have eo nino because of fossile fuels.",
">\n\nThe heat churned up by El-Niño has nowhere to go if there's excessive greenhouse gases. For millions of years, El-Niño wasn't a major player. Because the heat could make it's way into space. But now, it will be a powerful El-Niño that plunges us into centuries of medieval conditions.",
">\n\nHeat will always have somewhere to go. The key thing is that more energy in the system yields greater bulk movement and fluctuation of volumes of air. It's how global warming can also contribute to unprecedented lows in addition to highs.\nIt's more like El Nino's energy will make things even windier and wetter, over a larger area and/or (but probably and) for a longer period of time.",
">\n\n\nHeat will always have somewhere to go.\n\nWhat I meant by that is that too much of the heat can't get past the troposphere. When the molecules of greenhouse gases absorb heat from the earth's surface and collide with each other, it scatters in all directions. Including down. There has been a global heat spike after a powerful El-Niño, ever since the one in 1998. The world temperature has not dropped below average for 456 consecutive months.\nEDIT: word",
">\n\nwho could have predicted this",
">\n\nShell and BP decades ago, right before they went on a worldwide disinformation campaign to claim that what we saw with our eyes wasn't happening.",
">\n\nSeriously. Also, one of my favorite facts to share with people is that Climate Change was first proposed as possible in like the 1890's. Literally the 1800's. It's NOT a new concept.",
">\n\nEl Niño is Spanish for....The Niño",
">\n\nRight after biblical, once-in-a-century, heavy rainstorms in California, particularly in the Bay Area.\nAlso like El Niño and the summer heatwaves, La Niña this winter amplified normal showers to hurricane-strength hellscapes. Both because of climate change.",
">\n\n\nDeclining air pollution in China, which blocks the sun, was also increasing heating, he said.\n\nSometimes you just can't get a win",
">\n\nActually, this was a topic 10? 15? years ago regarding climate change. Something about the particular type of coal china had been stock piling. Something like, it produced more particulate matter, and could, in theory, reduce global warming. I don't recall the whole theory, or what happened to the coal.",
">\n\nParticulates have basically been artificially keeping temperatures down, reducing the visible impact of climate change. Once it's removed, that veneer disappears and were left to face the full brunt of it.",
