El Niño planet-warming weather phase begins – BBC News
El Niño, a natural weather event, has begun in the Pacific Ocean, likely adding heat to a planet already warming under climate change.
US scientists confirmed that El Niño had started. Experts say it will likely make 2024 the world’s hottest year.
They fear it will help push the world past a key 1.5C warming milestone.
It will also affect world weather, potentially bringing drought to Australia, more rain to the southern US, and weakening India’s monsoon.
The event will likely last until next spring, after which its impacts will recede.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

what these guys are missing is the fact that we'll most likely be hit by an asteroid which will re-write the world anyway. We're not safe from the cosmos, and the universe will cause an ice age before humans make the planet uninhabitable

Ladies and gentlemen, this is bad news. It is not a test. This is serious and has something to do with climate change. You may better know it as El Nino. Floods, rising sea levels, coral bleaching, melting ice, rising temperatures, wildfires, bushfires, desertification, and unusual weather patterns. Please rise up and call for system change before it’s too late. May God protect us all…
Take care of Earth, or else it will end up like Venus, or even Famana, the fictional planet from Sunset Productions.

So this isn’t a big surprise, they admit to every 7 to 11 years. Go look at the PaleoClimate records, it helps prove that Ice Ages and Global Warming have been regular events. CO2 is not the culprit it’s water vapour.

What a load of cobblers. Even worse? people here don't question the nonsense and lies they are being told by the BBC and other institutions. The fires are being caused by Directed Energy weapons and planes have been seen doing this. Furthermore, we have cloud seeding which is causing excessive and deliberate flooding (See Operation Popeye for an example and RAF Rainmaker, Lynmouth 1952). As for droughts? Research Atmospheric heating (EISCAT and HAARP) which alter weather patterns, cause storms, change cloud patterns/formations and can cause Eartquakes. ALL FACTUAL INFORMATION.

😂😂😂😂 El Niño! Dream on journalists! When media first reported about El Niño they said it happens every seven years- in which case, we should be well practiced to deal with it. Global weather events are UNPRECEDENTED.
Unprecedented does not equal every seven years! What is happening is NOT natural. The total void of journalists intelligence on this topic boggles me. What are you going to say to your children when you can’t keep lying and you contributed to the planet’s destruction?

Funny how they aren’t mentioning this now that we have a heat wave. It’s all due to human caused climate change now. It’s a con people, every easy solution found to reduce emissions is ridiculed and set aside as they don’t make you poorer and transfer power to the governments/elites. We could store all the worlds annual CO2 emissions in the ground in one year by just changing how we farm animals on pastures worldwide.

Oh, ya, cause if American scientist says it it must be true cause American scientist don’t lie to fit there narrative to push the global warming we’re all gonna cook speech. That never happens! My country knows if they say it first the rest of the idiots will fall in suit and say it also like u just did even though u have not observed that happening.
