This year's record setting El Niño will impact many different parts of the world, with some experiencing severe drought and others flooding. In a new analysis at The Climate Brink, I explore what impacts happened during past events and which are most likely to occur this year.

The riots in France have multiple complex economic and social causes, but I have to wonder whether the scorching hot summer contributed some to the discontent.
In a country where most homes and businesses lack air conditioning, this last summer would have been insufferable.

ECMWF 🇪🇺🇬🇧has upgraded their world-leading weather model open-source data (that's free to you and me) to 0.1° --> full resolution!
Amazing news for the world, weather map makers --> enormous improvements for machine learning, forecasting, everything. 🎉
While there is increasingly strong evidence that global warming is accelerating, we need to be careful about how we detect it. Unfortunately a newly published paper on the topic makes a number of mistakes in it approach, as I discuss over at The Climate Brink: theclimatebrink.com/p/how-no…

We published two papers showing strong aerosol forcing is contributing to the rapid increase of EEI and it implies a higher ECS. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… and nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Will this year's record-shattering El Niño event be the strongest in a millennium?
In a new piece over at The Climate Brink I review the paleoclimate literature from tree rings and corals and argue that may well turn out to be the case.

There is a certain irony in spending $276 million on political “free speech”.

My point is, don't make clean energy collateral damage to your insistence on blocking fossil projects.
It's ok to be conflicted about *this* permitting reform bill. It's not ok to insist that the status quo is working.
The October runs for dynamical El Niño models are now all out, and its a mixed bag. Some revise the event downward, some upward, but on average its still expected to peak at ~4C, albeit with the peak more likely to occur in December than November:
As always, you can stay up to date on El Niño observations and models over at the Climate Dashboard: dashboard.theclimatebrink.co…
I've also updated the impacts explorer over there to use the latest (October) dynamical model runs for local forecasts: dashboard.theclimatebrink.co…
