It is undeniable El Niño will wreak havoc and possibly kill millions. But it seems a bit weird to me to share results from a non-peer reviewed "report", and to not include comments or feedback on it from Envioremental Epidemiologists in the written news article. Do they agree on this measurement?

If we go by the numbers from the Global Lancet Countdown 2025 and other Global studies on Heat-related mortality, this report implies that we will observe almost one million heat-related deaths (half from El Niño, half from what we usually observe).

I don't deny the (on-going) El Niño (ENSO) will add up thousands of deaths through multiple pathways. But is it really needed to publish a report, NOT peer-reviewed, using methods that are not standard? If numbers turn out to not be 450,000, it does more harm than good to climate communication.
2026 2027 El Niño event will result in more than half a million deaths. All the news have shared, citing a report published today.

7. It's yet another thing that AI has stolen away from the current generation of scientists. Yet again, AI proves to be an anti-egalitarian force in that these abuses force us to abandon the Mertonian norm of universalism for increased reliance on credentials, reputation, and personal connections.

DHS was also "too big to fail", until it got randomly attacked, defunded, and made their datasets unavailable for over a year while being "reviewed" by DOGE :/

Every six months a writer goes on parental leave, is driven insane by watching 10,000 hours of Paw Patrol, and writes another one of these articles, and they're always great.
