The Project Censored radio show opens the year with a program on the M.Annenberg interview at the Mayday! EAARTH exhibit, NYC, with Bill McKibben, Dr. James Hansen and the author Geoff Dembicki, of The Petroleum Papers. "Is There a Climate Emergency?"

El Niño is born! Destined to be the biggest in 150 years +??
NOAA declares: El Niño Advisory
This morning conditions in the Eastern Pacific met the criteria for El Niño. This means Sea Surface Temps reached a certain level above normal, and the ocean and atmosphere “coupled” meaning they are now working in tandem to produce impacts. This event is widely advertised by models to be potentially the strongest on record. El Niño takes very hot water stored in the deep tropical west Pacific, pushing it east and up to the surface, lofting that heat into the atmosphere, which supercharges weather events and throws the climate off-kilter. This typical means more intense heatwaves & floods, but also it restrains the Atlantic hurricane season. So its impacts are both good and bad. One thing seems virtually certain: the heat released into the atmosphere will make for some unprecedented events through 2027, and on top of longterm warming, the hottest global temperatures in many tens of 1000s of years. #ElNino #florida #storm #heatwave #flood #drought
The firing of Scott Pelley is a warning for our democracy.
This is the same Scott Pelley who reminded us: In 1798, the Sedition Act made it illegal to criticize the government—reporters went to jail for doing their jobs.
Madison taught us that freedom of the press guarantees all the others. Attacking journalists is an assault on the truth that sustains our democracy.
Wait. For. It. NASA animation shows Global temperatures warm slowly at first, then rapidly. Warming is accelerating! Here’s the truth. It’s real. It’s us. And we have to come to terms with it, and deal with reality, rather than deceiving ourselves, and hoping it goes away. It won’t… without intervention. #climate #globalwarming #science #climatechange
Scientists across the country are expressing alarm as the Trump administration dismantles another tool for understanding how the planet is changing.
Starting this month, more than 900 deep-sea ocean sensors will be pulled out of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans off the coast of Washington, Oregon, Alaska, North Carolina, and Greenland.
Researchers say these are critical ocean observation tools.

@ScottPelley May you find the leadership worthy of your great journalism. Your fans will follow you. Thank you for standing up for integrity in news reporting.
The new ENSO Euro Plumes were released this morning. Hard to believe, but they are even stronger! Some members are even above 4°C! Insane.
I thought it may be helpful to add the color bars to distinguish between strong vs historic events. Truth be told historic starts below +3C but for consistency I started it at 3.
This will be followed by the Relative Nino plots which are honestly only a smidge below the traditional Nino index. 🧵 1/2
