lmao, the answer is yes, undoubtedly yes. What a joke.
Yes I read the dumb article and I’m convinced El Nino will easily drag into 2025. The heat is hear to stay and its opening the door for more on the way. Good thing we are ever increasing our total emission output every year.
Absolutely not, next year will be cooler than the year after.
Short answer: yes
Long answer: hell yes, of course!
Most likely, but maybe not because of El Nino.
But if it is cooler, it’s only a dip in the long term. The unmistakable and unrelenting trend is up for the rest of our lives.
Funny how the article doesnt mention the actual temperature increase or the margine of error.
Do you even need to ask
I think we have hit the point where thawing of the permafrost is going to accelerate the release of methane into the atmosphere.We already have enough temperature rise to assure a significant amount of methane will enter the atmosphere and methane is 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide at trapping heat though it is shorter lived.
That said, should its release spike an even greater increase in temperature it may, on its own, release a tremendous amount more methane and a furthering of temperature increase. And that from a natural not man made source under our control.
There are likely other surprises from melting permafrost we must also contend with. What I am curious about is the unknown unknowns this will bring down through the years.
