@eniiler @nytimes @nytclimate Stardust's claim: ~10m tons of particles to cool 1.5°C.
What's not said: particles fall out in 1-2 yrs, so that's just the starting dose.
To maintain the cooling you inject again.
And again. For decades.
With rising CO₂ levels, the required dose keeps climbing.
And if it stops?

Stardust reveals its recipe for cooling the Earth: tiny spheres of silica and calcium carbonate. Here's a look at how that would work and the risks of privatizing geoengineering. @nytimes @nytclimate

The "super-El Nino" talk is unhelpful clickbait hype. Current consensus forecast is for a Nino3.4 index of ~1.3C to emerge later this year. That's a *moderate* El Nino; pales in comparison w/ recent (e.g. 2016 & 2024) events.
The truth remains bad enough!

Not an expert so I can't really comment on this. But hopefully NASA will soon.

CSU's four analogs for the 2026 Atlantic seasonal #hurricane forecast are: 2006, 2009, 2015 and 2023. Analogs are selected based on robust #ElNino and above-normal sea surface temperatures during August-October.

The primary reason for CSU's somewhat below-normal Atlantic #hurricane season forecast is a high likelihood for a robust #ElNino. El Nino typically decreases Atlantic hurricane activity via increases in Caribbean/tropical Atlantic vertical wind shear.

This will be devastating to efforts to research programs in the fire-prone west: "The agency is closing six research and development facilities in California, five in Mississippi, four in Michigan and three in Utah...It will also close all of its nine regional offices, which currently manage 154 national forests." @eniiler @nytimes nytimes.com/2026/04/03/cli…
