People assume the ENSO cycle is stable. Observations seem to be disputing that. In an increasingly chaotic climate system all bets are off.

Extreme ocean downwelling is occurring now off the coast of Ecuador and Columbia in the eastern tropical Pacific. The surface current here is all flowing eastward and converging and sinking. This is never the case except in El Niños. (But we aren’t in the El Niño phase of the Southern Oscillation now, we’re in the Neutral phase.) Without an El Niño, the Humboldt current flows westward from Ecuador and the Columbian current flows northward along the Pacific coast of Columbia. The opposite is happening now and to an extreme degree. It’s like an El Niño is taking shape starting in the eastern tropical Pacific instead of the far western tropical Pacific which is unheard of. The El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO)’s oscillator in the far western tropical Pacific is always the trigger for starting El Niños. Could an El Niño be on the way in “reverse order”? If that is true we are in a whole new ballgame with ENSO and perhaps a key part of the Earth’s ocean current system. Image created using: earth.nullschool.net Image showing what is described here.

We got it wrong. We're a lot more fucked than anyone thought. If someone is telling you we can limit warming to 2.5C by 2100 they're lying. Or even 3C by 2050 they're hoping for something that can't likely happen.

Text covers both images. "It can’t be stated strongly enough how fast the climate feedback cascade is now ramping up. Surface air temperatures in the Arctic are now predicted to be up to + 20 degrees C (+ 36 degrees F) above the average for the date on November 17. The month of October averaged + 5 to + 10 degrees C (+ 9 to + 18 degrees F) above average for the date across the Arctic. Last January through March (3 months running) were up to + 10 to 15 C (+ 18 to + 27 F above average across large parts of the Arctic. Blue Ocean Events in both polar regions are becoming likely much sooner all the time and could even come in 2026. That will send the Earth into much more rapid, catastrophic warming. Time has run out. Unless the world acts aggressively without delay to rapidly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, the next El Nino could bring the world near + 2 C and we could see + 3 C within another 15 years. We are on course to irreversible extinction level warming even for humans. We are now past + 1.5 C (+ 2.7 F) which was predicted to take about 15 more years just 3 years ago."

Iran's capital, Tehran

'Water rationing has quietly begun in Tehran, with several neighborhoods facing nightly supply cuts without official announcement or public warning, Iranian media reported on Saturday.

Residents say water has been shut off from midnight until around 5 a.m. in recent nights.'

Although John is not outright predicting a BOE in 2026, he is certainly suggesting it's possible. Of anyone I pay attention to he's been by far the most accurate in 2025.

www.facebook.com/share/p/1CZQ...
Text is for all three images. Last January - March surface air temperature anomalies for the date were about a colossul + 15 C (+ 27 degrees F) for 90 days running as shown in these graphs which are for 80 to 90 N latitude which had a greater anomaly than the Arctic as a whole which was closer + 10 C (+ 18 degrees F) over those 3 months. At this rate with the huge new autumn 2025 increases shown here I think Jan - Mar 2026 surface air temperatures could average + 20 degrees C (36 degrees F) above average for the date. My guess is a Blue Ocean Event (BOE) (less than 1 M square km sea ice remaining) is likely by September 2026. A BOE is a BFD because it’s a double whammy for global climate. It decreases Earth’s albedo and allows massively more heat absorption by the even more stratified (due to ice melt) far upper ocean. I had thought a BOE would take a few years longer before seeing this new data. Suddenly the Antarctic is also warming at a shockingly accelerating rate this year, largely due to massively increasing heat transport from the overheated North Atlantic upper ocean via the also warming Indian Ocean - associated with relatively warmer water rising from the deeper ocean to the surface causing so much sea ice melting that a BOE around Antarctica - where sea ice coverage is much greater and extends to much lower latitudes - could come as soon as March 2027. I think there’s no question now that we began a cascade of climate feedbacks and tipping points in 2025. BOEs in both polar regions will trigger massive acceleration of global warming. And that is without taking into account the complely unexpected massive increase in methane hydrate releases from the sea floor around Antarctica discovered just two months ago.

CanSIPS Multi Model Ensembles predict El Niño (positive (warm) central equatorial Pacific sea surface temperature anomaly) solidly in place by May. El Niños raise global average surface (2 m) air temperatures by up to + 0.3 C. Even larger and more persistent increases are possible with global warming.

Just a screenshot of my favourite bullet points. We are already on the hothouse earth trajectory(not maybe) and the feedbacks already at play aren't shutting down if we ramp up industrial scale development (solar, wind). More weak, underwhelming, spineless messaging. Again.

Climate change mitigation strategies are available, cost effective, and urgently needed. From forest protection and renewables to plant-rich diets, we can still limit warming if we act boldly and quickly.

The sinking of particular matter in the oceans is shifting to shallower depths the last decades

Only across the upper <300m it increased.

This means (a) oceanic carbon sink loosing resilience and (b) the upper ocean retains more nutrients - worst case!

"Climate justice" sounds great but that's about it. As climate collapse continues to to intensify and spread, no amount of man made laws will do a damned thing. We're all going down. There will be lots of tears, pain and screaming. That's reality, deal with it.

A reminder that we have now breached 7 of 9 planetary boundaries.

“Earth’s life-supporting systems risk crossing critical thresholds, with severe consequences for both ecosystems and societies”

(Stockholm Resilience Centre)

www.stockholmresilience.org/news--events...
Graphic from Stockholm Resilience Centre website showing 2025 update on the Planetary Boundaries. The seven breached planetary boundaries are: Climate Change, Biosphere Integrity, Land System Change, Freshwater Use, Biogeochemical Flows, Novel Entities, and Ocean Acidification (new in 2025). The 2 we have not crossed are atmospheric aerosol loading and stratospheric ozone depletion.
