These charts don't lie:

  1. Earth's ability to reflect sunlight back into space is steadily declining. The planet is absorbing more energy every day.
  1. While albedo declines, the emerging super El Nino is pushing temperatures well past norms. More to come over the next several months...this El Nino is just getting started.
  1. Already rapidly growing in strength, El Nino is forecasted to become a monster by the fall. In addition to raising global mean temperatures, this will scramble climates around the world creating drought in some regions and massive downpours in others.
  1. Before El Nino even kicks in, heat across the world is already scorching. More to come next week.
  1. A heat dome next week could worsen drought conditions within the US. Later, in stark contrast to current conditions, El Nino could cause catastrophic downpours within the US.
  1. Right now, the UK and Europe are buckling under extreme temperatures. Humans, agriculture, and infrastructure cannot handle these extreme deviations from normal conditions. Europe was not built for these temperatures.
