Welche Folgen der historische El Niño für Europa haben kann

Ein Klimaphänomen, das alle bisherigen Rekorde bricht, braut sich zusammen. Hierzulande könnten vor allem die Lebensmittelpreise steigen

Die Klimaforschenden pfeifen es durch die Medien und nach den Semesterferien durch die Hörsäle: Es zeichnet sich ein enorm starker El Niño ab. Wie der britische Wetterdienst, das #MetOffice, berichtet, wird es sich um ein Ereignis von ungekannten Ausmaßen handeln – wahrscheinlich das stärkste seit dem 19. Jahrhundert. Damit passt die aktuelle Einschätzung zu den Prognosen vor einem Monat, die für den heftigsten #ElNiño seit 150 Jahren sprechen.
Groß dürfte der indirekte Einfluss in Zentraleuropa ausfallen. Es ist damit zu rechnen, dass durch #Extremereignisse wie #Überschwemmungen und #Dürren die weltweite #Nahrungsmittelproduktion beeinträchtigt wird. Das dürfte die #Lebensmittelpreise weiter steigen lassen – nach einem überaus trockenen und für die Landwirtschaft belastenden Sommer, der durch die #Klimakrise verschärft wurde. Da davon auszugehen ist, dass sich der Zustand des Klimas in Zukunft verschlimmert, bietet die Prognose für die kommenden Monate einen Ausblick auf die Probleme der kommenden Jahre.

The only 'pragmatic approach' to #OilAndGas, Mr #Burnham, is to shut it all down, arrest all the executives, and put them all on trial charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

The #MetOffice is already predicting temperatures which will cause mass deaths in the #UK within thirty years.

@urlyman

The UK #MetOffice is predicting temperatures by mid century which will trigger mass death events. It's now too late to prevent this, because of inertia and hysteresis in the climate system. So it's already too late to have a 'soft landing', even in what are now temperate zones.

What we need to be building towards is #lifeboats -- relatively self-sufficient regions which can survive when global systems fail.

Because they will.

A fortnight ago, I posted a blog post about the risk of mass deaths given the #metoffice predictions for summer temperatures mid-century; but then I noticed I'd made a significant mistake, and rolled it back.

I've now revised it. It's not quite as bleak as it was. It's pretty bleak.
