Super El Niño: A freight train of warm water continues to chug across the subsurface Pacific Ocean. The level of warmth is record-breaking in some areas, peaking around 7˚C (13˚F) above average. This heat should lead to more intense El Niño projections in May model updates.

The Congo Basin is the world's second-largest tropical rainforest and absorbs more carbon than ANY other forest on the planet! Why this matters for YOU: These forests regulate rainfall for farmers, store carbon to slow climate change, and are home to gorillas, Jaguars.

One of the wildest climate charts I know of: Canada's 'managed' boreal forest areas used to sequester over 100 Mt CO2 each year (net) from stand regeneration following wildfires (aka 'Post-wildfire emissions and removals'), counteracting emissions from burning biomass. But in the last couple years these have tipped into 'positive' net emissions from decaying soil organic matter. Meanwhile, wildfire emissions have skyrocketed, meaning the boreal forest is shedding tremendous amounts of Carbon.

Not a cloud in the sky over Ireland on April 29th..and very little forest on view. Once the island had ~80% forested. Now just ~11% remains and just ~2% of that is actually native woodland. Europes lowest. We didn’t just lose trees — we lost huge swathes of ecosystems.

The strongest El Niño in 150 years? Yes, it’s legitimately possible. Not hype. In fact, the “median” forecast for December of all of our computer models combined is slightly “above” the biggest event we know of back in 1877. (+2.9 vs +2.7 using ONI) While this peak intensity may or may not occur, all signs are pointing to a Super El Niño - a “natural” oscillation. That will expel stored heat from the deep Tropical Pacific - on top of significant longterm warming - heating Earth to record levels not measured before in late 2026-2027, powering extreme heat waves, droughts, and rain storms… while also suppressing Atlantic hurricane season 1/ #ElNino #extremeweather #science

The normalcy bias we're all experiencing for global sea-surface temperatures becomes apparent if we look at the graph of SSTs 1982-2026 and remove the last three years 2023, 2024, 2025 from the picture:

Here’s the ensemble mean from @hausfath ClimateBrink dashboard. The ONI median of models/ ensembles he incorporates is +2.9C today… it varies as new models come in - the RONI is much lower at +2.0 as it takes into account the relativity to overall tropical ocean SST’s.

BREAKING: corporate media remain criminally silent as famous scientists repeat warnings that horrific conditions on Earth by the 2030s look likely
Ben See tweet media
Ben See@ClimateBen

1. 'Large negative impacts' on food production at 2°C according to IPCC report AR6, the consensus on climate science 2. "Mass death" of billions of people will be certain at 3°C according to at least one IPCC Lead Author of AR6 3. 'Extinction' at 3-4°C by the 2050s? Plausible.

@PCarterClimate But… haven’t you noticed, it’s plain that people like me, working from first causes rather than trends of symptoms, have been far ahead in understanding why our self-interest designed systems are headed for collapse now, also still have other choices within reach?

@PCarterClimate @josephC808 @vineet_mausam x.com/i/status/20502… The media is simply exaggerating, like it always does. It is hot in India, but that's the case every year, every summer. Sometimes less, sometimes more. April 2026 was no exception. May 2026 is expected to be cooler and wetter than normal this year.
Dr. Vineet Kumar@vineet_mausam

A comparison of tempertures in 2025 (left) and 2026 (right). This April (2026), avg. maximum temperatures in India are generally in near normal range (except southern states). Also, temps were less as compared to 2025 in west, North, Cental India. Image: IMD

@Karmageddon67 @GeoffreyLean If we're dropping fossil fuel CO2 emissions, then things start decreasing. However, deniers have caused decades of dangerous and deadly delay, so it won't happen anyway. We're adding renewable energy AND more fossil fuel projects.

Climate deniers have long claimed that it is good to increase CO2 as it is a “plant food” and boost crops. It always was a dodgy claim.And now new research shows rising CO2 makes food less nutritious and may thus increase hunger. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

SUMMERS ARE GETTING LONGER, HOTTER- ACCUMULATING MORE HEAT May challenge the ability of humans in the midlatitudes to physiologically adapt. Paper shows cities in summer. Midlatitude summers are growing longer and hotter, and seasonal transitions are becoming more abrupt, relative to the 1961–1990 period. (Mid-latitudes outside of the tropics) Rate of warming is increasing iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108… #globalwarming #climatechange #heatstress

@HEIS_Tswvlis @pmagn Government spending to keep people and businesses afloat during Covid started the inflation. More recently, T**** seems to be doing everything he can to repay the fossil fuel executives who paid to get him re-elected.

@CGammetta5098 @Lobo67383079 What are the trends, Carlo? Deniers pick single dates and say See? We watch for trends and are seeing an increase in record high temperatures.

@Lobo67383079 @PCarterClimate Yesterday's global high temperature was 117ºF at Matam, Senegal. This is evidence of global warming. Yesterday's global low temperature was -94ºF at Concordia Station, Antarctica. This is evidence of global freezing.

It's because countries like the US are historically responsible for the vast majority of emissions (the US is #1 historically). It's because our per capita emissions are still FAR higher than in the countries you mention, including China. And it's because we exported many (most?) of our manufacturing emissions to Asia in the 1980s and 90s, so their emissions are in large part OUR emissions, exported.

@Lobo67383079 @PCarterClimate Plus, here's another thing: Why is it that climate alarmists never besmirch the most polluted countries on planet Earth? Always the United States that gets attacked. It's as though China, India, Nepal and Mongolia don't exist. Why?

Only half? FINALLY Lomborg tells us something useful (though how true it is, we don't know). I wonder how the world would fare if the affluent gave up all their junk food, the food they waste (before they waste it), and all their excess calories. Meanwhile, deniers like Lomborg are responsible for the deadly delays in the transition to virtual zero carbon. We could have made it through to the other side by now if it weren't for the "professional" (paid) deniers like Lomborg and all their delay tactics.
