El Niño is here, and forecasters warn that it’s likely to be bigger and stronger in 2026-27 than any #ElNino event recorded in at least 150 years. What that means:
theconversation.com
2026’s El Niño is shaping up to be a doozy – it’s already affecting global shipping, fish behavior and heat
El Niño can affect agriculture, marine life and economies in profound ways, including slowing commerce at the Panama Canal. This El Niño is likely to be the strongest in over a century.

France’s nuclear fleet gives it one of the world’s lowest-carbon electricity grids— France generates two-thirds of its electricity from nuclear power, making it the country’s dominant power source.
Line chart of the share of total electricity generation from nuclear power where France’s share remains far above the European and global averages across 1985 to 2025. France stays roughly 70 to 80 percent in earlier years and trends down toward about 65 to 70 percent by 2025, while Europe is around 20 to 30 percent and the global average about 10 to 15 percent.
