"...El Niño means...'The Niño'..."
Posted on 02/08/2026 6:01:10 AM PST by Libloather
Weather agencies and climate scientists have pointed to the possibility of an El Niño forming in the Pacific Ocean later this year – a phenomenon that could push global temperatures to all-time record highs in 2027.
Both the US government’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology have said some climate models are forecasting an El Niño but both cautioned those results came with uncertainties.
Experts told the Guardian it was too early to be confident, but there were signals in the spread of sea surface temperatures in the Pacific that suggested an El Niño could form in 2026.
The cycle of ocean temperatures in the Pacific – known as the El Niño southern oscillation (ENSO) – is linked with extreme climate events around the world.
When warmer-than-average waters gather in the east of the equatorial Pacific and extend to the coast of the American continent, this is known as an El Niño and tends to give global temperatures a boost and, in Australia, can be linked to drier and hotter conditions.
The latest southern hemisphere outlook from Australia’s bureau said this week: “Some models suggest the possibility of El Niño development from June.” The bureau cautioned this was a “very long lead time” for predicting an El Niño.
NOAA has also said “there are growing chances of El Niño” but also pointed to uncertainty in the models.

Yeah, that El Nino sure played a trick on the SE part of the USA. We are having the coldest El Nino winter EVER!
I’m Skeered who do I pay???
And if they occur, those “all-time record highs” will not even be close to higher temps millions of years ago that were accompanied by massive expansions in life. Too bad the Guardian clowns didn’t try some STEM courses, you know, that stuff that actually requires logic and thinking.
10 degrees here ready for some palm trees
> a phenomenon that could push global temperatures to all-time record highs in 2027 <
It won’t be “could”, but “will”. And that’s because the Climate Change fraudsters are getting a little desperate. So they WILL nudge the data to get the results they want.
The Climate fraudsters say they can accurately measure the temperature of the entire Earth to the nearest tenth of a degree. Funny how no one in the mainstream media questions that nonsensical claim.
They cancelled the snow festival in Rochester NY....cuz it was too wintery....lol
“One expert says”
The panic is tiresome, indeed. We’re coming out of an Ice Age, something that has happened who knows how many times before. This change will take place quite slowly, with some ‘spikes’ along the way— it’s not a linear ‘average’ thing. The earth is going to be just fine. We’ll have to do some adapting, which we are fully capable of. The notion that some vast cabal of crooked or at least dim politicians will lead the way in this is folly, and sets the stage for quite alot of corruption.

2027?! Who cares? Here in February 2026 on the East Coast we are freezing our a**es off!
YAWN
Never give up the con.
I never heard of a ‘chance’ causing harm like global warming. So it is not even El Nino itself, but just the ‘chance’ that causes global warming. Maybe it is the gas that the ‘chance’ causes Guardian reporters that cause global warming. Maybe there is a ‘chance’ the Guardian might actually report real news (although that seems to be a very limited chance).
El Nino is weather, not climate
And monkeys may fly out of my butt.

I’ll FReepmail you my bank info. :-)
If you exclude extreme cold days as outliers from your data, but include extreme warm days despite being outliers, you end up with climatologists who are outright liars.

ALL-TIME high! Since the Earth was created!!! Yahweh Himself did not envision temperatures like these!!!!
