El Nino: It’s early, likely to be big, sloppy and add even more heat to a warming world

Thu, 2023-06-08 10:45 — mike kraft
Here comes El Nino: It's early, likely to be big, sloppy and add even more heat to a warming world After months of gradually warming sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean, NOAA officially issued an El Nino advisory Thursday and stated that this one might be different than the others.

But in an interview with The Associated Press he also says the concept might not make it on agenda of “make-or-break” international climate negotiations this fall. United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell says he couldn’t quite promise that the idea of a fossil fuel phase out would get a spot on the agenda in climate talks because that's up to the conference president.
