This El Niño just broke the ocean temperature record. Heat alone could kill 451,000 people by February, before counting a single death from hunger. The UN has a plan to protect 8.8 million people before their harvests fail. Only one government has funded it, with about $3 million.

El Niño is causing floods, droughts, fires and smoke around the world. Governments are not mobilizing humanitarian aid to help people follow with the hunger and devastation that accompanies these.

The Droughts and Floods That El Niño Brings Set the Stage: People Decide Whether Those Weather Events Become Acute Hunger and Famine
The ocean did much the same thing both times. This is about what determined how many people died during each El Niño and what WE can do to keep the death toll low with this 2026 - 2027 El Niño.

“If the temperature of the Pacific were the variable that decided the death toll, 2027 would be catastrophic beyond any precedent. It has no connection to the Pacific at all, it will be whether governments help the people that 150 years of El Niño records say will suffer from hunger.”

Half of the population of the Earth lives in Asia and grows their own food. Whether tens of millions of people experience food shortages from the Super El Niño depends on the harvest of crops that haven’t been planted yet an on whether countries impose export bans.

Record soybean crop arriving late is the mechanism by which the safrinha maize is lost, rather than a separate risk, is the sharpest move in the piece. There is a deadline on anticipatory action: it is fixed by the planting window, not by the drought index. What happens to crops next is the key!

Sanders: The irony is that the proper criticism of communism is that the Soviet Union was an authoritarian society.  And then you’ve got the most authoritarian president in the history of this country. So I suppose when he says, “I’d be a great communist,” yeah, I think there’s some truth to that

“A drought you can see coming for months. A heat wave you can see coming only for days. By the time you can feel it, the pollen is already dead, the milk has already stopped, and the forecast of food production for the season has already dropped precipitously.”
