People assume the ENSO cycle is stable. Observations seem to be disputing that. In an increasingly chaotic climate system all bets are off.

Extreme ocean downwelling is occurring now off the coast of Ecuador and Columbia in the eastern tropical Pacific. The surface current here is all flowing eastward and converging and sinking. This is never the case except in El Niños. (But we aren’t in the El Niño phase of the Southern Oscillation now, we’re in the Neutral phase.) Without an El Niño, the Humboldt current flows westward from Ecuador and the Columbian current flows northward along the Pacific coast of Columbia. The opposite is happening now and to an extreme degree. It’s like an El Niño is taking shape starting in the eastern tropical Pacific instead of the far western tropical Pacific which is unheard of. The El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO)’s oscillator in the far western tropical Pacific is always the trigger for starting El Niños. Could an El Niño be on the way in “reverse order”? If that is true we are in a whole new ballgame with ENSO and perhaps a key part of the Earth’s ocean current system.

'Our capability to observe the Earth's energy imbalance and budget terms is threatened as satellites are decommissioned'

And now it's (temporarily? 🤞) not being updated.

We need more CERES satellites.

2/2 building more industrial scale "green", "renewable" projects just pile on the destruction of the natural world which leads to extinction. We've screwed the pooch. Your kids and grandkids aren't going to make it.

1/2 Basically John is saying 2040 will be it. Carbon capture is nonesense, a scheme cooked up by industry. We also know rapid decline in emissions equals termination shock, accelerating warming. In any case, we'll keep burning and destroying.

Why we’re in big trouble - in two simple graphs. It’s much worse though because the vast majority of the imbalance is increasingly absorbed by the uppermost few hundred meters of the increasingly stratified uppermost ocean. The Earth Energy Imbalance has increased by 338% since 2004. Until the last few years most of it was being absorbed by the deep ocean. Not any more. This is why global warming is accelerating. September alone saw a + 0.2 degrees C (+ 0.4 degrees F) rise in global average surface air temperature.

We are now at 1.4 to 1.5 degrees C (2.6 F) of warming compared to pre- industrial times. If we don’t take drastic action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions post haste and begin new ways of sequestering much of it already in the atmosphere we will see + 2 degrees C (+ 4 degrees F) within about 5 years and + 3 degrees C (+ 6 degrees F) within about 15 years. At + 3 degrees C humans rapidly go extinct.

Winter storms start now to release some of this accumulated heat to the atmosphere.

Question is in how far this will produce a warming signal over the Northern Hemisphere?

Wait here for studies, but the energies involved are enormous

#Earth #climate

The picture shows the current status of the North Pacific marine heatwave (MHW). The MHW covers large parts of the NP...

Its one massive heat depot to the atmosphere...

Highly important to understand:

This is how ocean heat uptake efficiency looks like with heat increasingly accumulating at shallower depths, with MHW expanding and intensifying combined with a cloud feedback and winter time heat release to the atmosphere

We are already deep in the red!

Record warm ocean temperatures continued in September across the North Pacific Ocean, with a number of consequential impacts (including on downstream weather patterns).

This graph shows the average for a band across the midlatitudes for every September from 1854-2025 using @noaa.gov ERSSTv5 data.

Green line graph time series of average sea surface temperature anomalies for each September from 1850 through 2025 for only the midlatitude region of the North Pacific Ocean. There is large interannual variability, but an overall long-term increasing trend. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline. 2025 is a record high.

In just 5 days,October 2025 has broken more heat records than any FULL MONTH in history except September 2025 (but it will surpass it soon).
We are seeing something beyond any imagination, with records destroyed in all Continents with extreme margins.

The way things are progressing at the current level of warming would seem to suggest 1.5 will be plenty to do us in. When added to all the other destruction we cause, fucked is putting it mildly.
