    It's certainly a preview of what's to come on normal years. And there's likely to be worse El Niños when this El Niño's suface temperatures are the new normal. If we were at the "Who's still using diesel in 2026?" instead of the "OH MY GOD! Diesel is over $6 a gallon (or €2.50 a litre)" stage in addressing climate change, we'd be on our way to seeing less of this in 30 years or so.

    Nicoya peninsula on the pacific side of Costa Rica here. Love your content for years! We’re experiencing the driest wet season we have ever had. We are in a severe drought. Definitely not wet or flooding.

    '450,000 deaths from the heat alone and 50 million being pushed into acute hunger' and 'small sense of peace' don't belong in the same video. ridiculously stupid.

    So why are governments still using things like h.a.r.r.p? Literally putting millions and millions of watts and voltage into the atmosphere, microwaving the atmosphere

    How come y'all never mention the negative PDA in the Northern region of the Pacific? Because that would kill your whole Alarmist video and you'd get less views. Relax people! They're not telling you about the negative PDA that pretty much negates most of what this guy's telling you. Weather will be different than normal, but the Negative PDA in the North pretty much negates most of it.

    Alr but why did you bring conspiracy theories into this? Global warming is not real and a second grader could prove it. You take a soda out of the fridge then what? Does it stay cold forever or does it get instantly warm or does it gradually reach the rooms temperature? And what is happening the earth? Almost like it's thawing from the last ice age and we're in the last bit of cold as we're technically in an ice age but it's the very end then we die and everything erodes and they freeze it and run it back and because nothing is made to last there will be nothing for next wave to build off of but they will find cars and such in lakes and underground then they will again claim that no one was smart while stealing what they did find and so on

    🏳️‍🌈There’s plenty of classical music out there that portrays scary and cataclysmic events. So why pick Beethoven’s Ode to Joy? Just be more mindful of your background music. Many people can give you great suggestions.🏳️‍🌈

    I find it hilarious that people STILL say "fossil fuel" and it causes global warming. Ignore the ACTUAL things that effect air temperature like microwaves, radiowaves, cellphone towers, and other Electromagnetic Radiation that has increased in use over the years. Forget the fact that people are ACTUALLY using EMR to manipulate weather, and crowd control EMF equipment according to patients, public documentaries, and public unclassified documents on the equipment and thier theoretical potentials. 😂 keep blaming the renewable resource that comes from earth filtered ocean biomass.

    I live in Zambia, I'm really concerned for the country.

    The wars and El Nino could lead to food shortages due to lack of fertilizer and drought, fuel shortages, record price hikes, Zambia is landlocked, so much imported from South Africa and serious power outages.

    The poorest people will be hit the worst, I don't look forward to what's coming.
