"Beginning in the summer, El Niño typically peaks around December or the following January." 🧵 "#ElNiño can contribute to severe droughts in one part of the world and heavy rainfall in others — both of which can disrupt growing seasons in key breadbaskets of the world." Frida Garza for Grist.org: https://grist.org/food-and-agriculture/the-super-el-nino-is-here-what-happens-next-could-upend-farming-worldwide/ In 1877, one of the strongest El Niños ever recorded was associated with historic droughts across Asia, as well as in parts of Brazil and northern Africa. These droughts, “along with colonial policies, contributed to famines in many regions which were really devastating,” said Deepti Singh @climatechirper.bsky.social. The fatalities associated with these famines were upward of 50 million people.

David Suzuki: Canadians 'have run out of time to delay the radical and deep cuts in emissions that are needed to avoid climate chaos'. 'As UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says about the emissions causing climate change: "We are digging our own graves" and "we are in a deep climate hole and to get out, we must first stop digging."' https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/david-suzuki-carney-is-holding-an-investment-summit-here-s-what-those-300-invitees-need-to-understand/article_b945cf05-b05a-4735-9f87-c253d3c9dc4a.html #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #ClimateBreakdown #NoPipelines #TradeWar #ExtremeWeather #Heatwave #Floods #Drought #Wildfires
