Some of us actually do find the demonstrably ways the world is changing in front of us due to what is likely a Super El Nino 'interesting as fuck'

El Niño doesn't really impact Europe, it's a Pacific Ocean phenomenon. The global heating and destabilizing trends are just the highly predictable impact of generations of rampant air pollution.

Potentially historic El Niño to come, analysis shows humanitarian toll

It is expected that in the coming months the El Niño climate phenomenon will occur and will worsen drought, flood, heat, and storm conditions across many regions of the world

It impacts globally. Europe will possibly see a milder wetter shorter autumn.
