The BOM model forecast is still for the *relative* (global heating adjusted) Niño3.4 to peak at around +3.8°C in November-December (slightly differing baseline). That's equivalent to a tradition Niño3.4 of about +4.3°C. That would be 1.5°C above the previous weekly record, in 125 years of data.
BOM ACCESS-S2 model forecast of relative Niño3.4 through to March next year. The forecast peaks at +3.8°C in November and December.

Breaking News! The preliminary Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature anomaly for Sept. 29th came in at 3.18°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. This marks yet another record all-time high and the 123rd consecutive record daily high at 1.1°C above the previous daily record set in 1997.

I haven’t seen Digger yet but here’s why making a big commercial film about the empirically verified imminent collapse of the livable world is so tricky, especially with critics: it is by its very nature over the top. And 500 years of stable climate grown aesthetics tells us over the top = bad.

Data centres in the Netherlands used 4.6% of all electricity in 2024, and transmission system operator TenneT expects this to double or triple to 10-15% by 2030! That means that the next 6-11 TWh/year of renewables that will be completed, will go straight to the growth of data centres.

I just gave a lecture on the French and Haitian Revolutions and got to use this amazing 1948 painting by the Haitian artist Dieudonné Cedor depicting the 1791 Vodou gathering in the forest of Bois Caïman, the pivotal ceremony that ignited the revolution.
A priest dressed in bright scarlet robes stands at the center with arms outstretched upward, directing the ritual invocation.
