The Great Exodus: How a Climate-Change-Fuelled El Nino is Emptying the Oceans of Fish (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The 1972 El Nino was one of the factors that triggered a dramatic fifty-five percent drop in Peruvian anchoveta populations, forcing major fishery closures and driving global fishmeal prices to record highs of two thousand, five hundred dollars per tonne.When an El Nino warms the Pacific up toward <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/06/09/us-news/super-el-nino-could-bring-s
The Wrong Kind of Strong: Why this El Nino is Too Early, Too Hot, and Too Hot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was shocked when I learned about this year’s El Nino, which could bring heavy seasonal rains, overflowing rivers, and flash floods to Africa, threatening my very existence.Risks include crop destruction from waterlogging, damaged infrastructure, and secondary disease outbreaks, with Côte d’Ivoire expecting a 20% drop in cocoa output, Ghana’s regulator predicting a 16% fall for the 2026/2027 season.Dry weather and intense heat stress could hurt staple crops like maize, yam, sorghum, and rice, t
When Glaciers Fail: From Missoula Floods to Nepal: Climate is Rewriting the Rules of Catastrophe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There used to be the Eghosa Library in Benin City, Nigeria in the 80s and 90s. Youths used to visit it before they either entered university or became employed.It was here I first read about the Holocene Collapse about 12,000 years ago, when rapid global warming and shifting weather systems during the period caused the collapse of ice covers in Africa.During the period, glaciers entirely vanished from the Sahara, Mount Elgon, and the Ethiopian Highlands, leaving active ice footprints on only thr
The Carbon Bomb Under the Ice: How Glacier Loss Is Feeding Climate Change (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A catastrophic glacier collapse and associated landslide struck the Nepal-Tibet border region in late August 2026, estimates suggesting the collapse involved roughly 100 to 200 million cubic meters of ice, bedrock, and permafrost.Four years ago, a large section of the Marmolada glacier in the Italian Alps broke off unexpectedly, experts saying it involved an ice avalanche volume of roughly <a href="https://www.cesbio.cnrs.fr/multitemp/estimation-of-marmolada-glacier-collapse-volume-u
We Burned Fuel: Now we Get Fire: the Super Nino of 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The ongoing super El Nino is heading for a new threshold, possibly reaching 3.6 degrees Celsius above average, breaking all historical records since observation began.The probability of events sits at greater than ninety percent through the fall and winter of 2026–2027, before a slow decline begins in spring 2027.The sea surface temperature has reached new
