El Niño is emerging even faster than expected in the Pacific Ocean and odds are increasing that it could become historically strong — a rare "Super" El Niño — by fall or winter. https://t.co/rMg9twp0sK

A powerful El Niño may be brewing for 2026: one of the strongest in recorded history.

Scientists are raising the alarm that one of the planet’s most disruptive climate patterns could return with force next year. Multiple climate models now suggest a major El Niño event is likely to develop in 2026, with some projections indicating it could rival or even surpass the devastating 1877 event — widely regarded as one of the most extreme on record.

El Niño occurs when a large area of unusually warm water builds up across the equatorial Pacific. This excess heat alters global atmospheric circulation, triggering widespread shifts in weather patterns far beyond the ocean itself.

The impacts of a strong El Niño are often severe and far-reaching. Past events have caused simultaneous crop failures, intense heat waves, prolonged droughts, catastrophic flooding, coral bleaching, and fishery collapses across several continents. The 1877 super El Niño, for example, contributed to massive famines and an estimated tens of millions of deaths in regions including India, China, Brazil, and parts of Africa.

What makes a potential 2026 event particularly concerning is that it would unfold on an already warming planet. Global ocean temperatures have been running unusually high for an extended period, and many areas are already facing water stress, extreme heat, and climate-related crises. Adding a powerful El Niño on top of this background warming could push systems to the breaking point.

While El Niño affects different regions in different ways, bringing heavy rains and floods to some areas and severe drought and heat to others, its global footprint tends to strain food production, water resources, energy systems, and public health simultaneously.

Forecasters emphasize that predictions can still change, and the final strength of the event remains uncertain. However, growing agreement across climate models has increased confidence that a significant El Niño is forming.

There are now more anti-White and anti-Asian laws in South Africa than anti-Black laws under Apartheid.

Racism is wrong no matter who it is against.

[CONNA @TraderCJB]

@MOSSADil It’s just their wingshooting club 🤔

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The South African laws are literally super racist, plain and simple.

It’s not complicated: imagine if the law was called “White Empowerment”, instead of “Black Empowerment”! People would have a seizure 😂

South Africa now has more anti-White laws than Apartheid had anti-Black laws. Think about that for a second …

The current South African government has objectively implemented Apartheid 2.0. Shame on them.

Everyone is blaming energy for breaking the system.

I have spent my entire career pointing to the real issue:

It’s the money.

Simple metric:

To buy a barrel of oil:

In 1972:
0.06 ounces would buy a barrel.

Today:
0.02 ounces will buy a barrel.
