This el nino is literally breaking all records or expectations. We haven't had anything even close to this strong since 1877, the year without a winter, when an estimated 50 million people (3% of global population at the time) died from famines and heat stress. This is much stronger than scientist think even that was. It's so ridiculously above any prediction of what was even possible that they don't know how to describe it.

There are already crop failures reported and the Midwest looks ripe to turn into a dust bowl again.

There will be extreme weather the world over this year and next, no doubt. I expect massive famines in much of the poorer parts of the world but even greatly affecting food prices in the west and China.

It is completely impossible to overstate just how devastatingly bad every new piece of data is looking.
