How do we want to simulate the reaction of an Earth system whose processes we do not understand?
New surprises of how the system behaves happen now ever faster - here a ecological reaction of the rainforests to the exceptional drought in 2023/24

We have to face it: the biosphere modules of models are still trash!
They need a serious update on reality...
They miss massive carbon feedback's of all sorts - here how forests stop growing long before photosynthesis stops which models do not incorporate...

We need cooling spaces for vulnerable populations - one of the main issues where adaptation money should flow into...
Otherwise soon millions will die with the numbers fast rising...

Here we have a expert opinion that no super El Nino will happen
But as we have so much heat in the tropical Pacific the next temperature jump could be triggered by a super event
It would be a climate system that wants to get rid of excess energy with all it's might...
Oopsi!

A thing I wonder about: solar radiation management cooling ocean surface air temperatures by 1°C wouldn't that mean that the ocean surface tries to adapt?
Setting free much more energy in the process?

In any case we should start now as later it could be too late...

Just the possibility of an extreme El Nino so soon after the last one is a striking signal that we overcharge the oceans...
If we continue with such rates likely further accelerating fast we could end up with no options as we would have already too much inside the system

Sadly, research becomes meaningless in our post factual world...
We will just continue to accelerate till we crash big time...

The atmosphere over the Amazon rainforest shifts to lower-volatility, potentially more reactive compounds during severe drought, according to in-situ measurements of isoprene, monoterpenoids, and sesq...
One danger of an extreme El Nino under current climatic boundary conditions: the jump wise increase in deadly heat
During El Nino's vast amounts of heat is released from the oceans. We can expect tha...
Plastic pollution is pervasive across ecosystems, but its impacts on biodiversity remain poorly understood. This Review assesses current understanding of exposure and biological effects, evaluating th...
El Niño is here, which means it's time for me to dust off and refine my old collection of ENSO-related climate visualizations. Check out how much sea surface temperatures have already warmed this year across the equatorial tropical Pacific. Wow!
