The “strongest El Niño in a millennium” is is seeing ocean “surface temps over 6 °C warmer than normal.” This Week in Collapse: “One scientist said, “this record breaking El Niño will double the amount of sea level rise we’ve seen from climate change overnight.” #climate

"As of September 10th, the Nino 3.4 anomaly is now 2.94°C (preliminary) above the 1991-2020 baseline, setting the 104th consecutive daily record, a full 1.09°C above the previous record for the day, set in 1997. The Climate 8-ball is gobsmacked." via Eliot Jacobson

An El Niño-induced coastally-trapped Kelvin wave will likely raise water levels about 9-14 inches (relative to 1993-2025 averages) along the California coast in early October. Water temperatures will also increase. The sudden increase will be as much as “the entire climate change anomaly in one go”

Essential reading on the consequences of El Niño. Its impacts on staple crops, rice in particular, will land on top of fertiliser shortages and low US harvests due to drought. “A sufficiently large El Niño is not a weather anomaly at all. It is going to be a global food shock on a 12 month fuse.”

Climate is a pattern, and the pattern has changed. = Climate Change
Graphic reading, “The difference between ‘There used to be hot summers too.’ and climate crisis.” Below is a temperature-anomaly chart showing mostly blue, cooler-than-average years in the earlier record, shifting dramatically toward sustained red, warmer-than-average years in recent decades. Occasional earlier red bars are labelled “These were hot summers,” while the sustained cluster of increasingly warm recent years is labelled “This is climate change.”

HHS is infested with incompetent idiots. Marty Makary lacks a fundamental understanding of the fact that yrs of sustained federal funding made mRNA vaccines possible, including the one for pancreatic cancer. 🧪
Snapshot of Tweet by Jonathan Reiner 

Jonathan Reiner
@JReinerMD
X.com
After the breathtaking results of an early mRNA pancreatic cancer vaccine trial, Dr Makary tells @kaitlancollins that NIH canceled $500 million in support for 20 mRNA vaccine trials simply because private industry should pay for it. In reality, REK Jr killed the funding because he doesn't believe in the technology. He said, "After reviewing the science and consulting top experts at NIH and FDA, HHS has determined that mRNA technology poses more risk than benefits for these respiratory viruses."
Kaitlan Collins O
@kaitlancollins • 10h
I asked FDA Commissioner Marty Makary if the promising new signs about the mRNA-based vaccine for pancreatic cancer made HHS reconsider its decision to cancel half a billion dollars' worth of federal funding for mRNA vaccine projects.

Brutal.
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.
