Socialism is the only path out of the global ecological crisis.
Hold on to your butts, comrades. We're about to get a preview of 2050. I just checked the live data, and the area off the coast of South America that is the index water for ENSO is 9° F above average in places. This is going to be a wild year.
i don't dare think of the environmental crisis/es and their consequences that we will face in the next decades, else i might just lose the will to live.

I assume this means an absolutely brutal hurricane season this fall for the Caribbean/gulf coast/east coast?
no, they are opposed usually (but not always), this one means bad pacific hurricanes (phillipines, china+taiwan, japan etc, some of those had flooding issues already with unusual weather 2 years before i believe)
Very likely. Both the Atlantic and Pacific will have more tropical cyclones, which is the precursor to a hurricane/typhoon. Can also expect flooding and heatwaves in the Americas, and drought in Africa and Asia
That’s legitimately terrifying.
