5 days agoThe ominous sign a SUPER El Nino is inching closer, revealed
April 2026 recorded near-record sea surface temperatures, suggesting super El Niño conditions may develop in coming months.
The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) reported data up to November 2025 that show this year has been 1.48 degrees C above the average from 1850 to 1900. That's right around the target set by the 2015 Paris climate agreement, under which countries pledged to limit warming to below 1.5 degrees C and well below 2 degrees C. Despite 2024's record-setting temperatures and 2025's proximity to the 1.5-degrees-C threshold, scientists must take into account many years of data before they can say with certainty that the Paris Agreement's target has been breached.
