"You've got more people that are living in poverty already and if you get a reduction in crop yields because of drought or flooding [from El Niño] then that drives prices even higher. So we're looking at potentially quite huge humanitarian impacts this year, especially if the crisis in the Middle East continues".

The developing El Niño weather pattern could be one of the strongest on record, with warnings of record global temperatures and 'huge humanitarian impacts to come'

Forecasters predict #wildfires, #floods, severe #heatwaves from incoming #ElNiño
Ocean heat plus human-caused #globalwarming is a grim recipe for deadly #climate extremes.
El Niño is the warm phase of a semi-regular temperature oscillation in the tropical Pacific Ocean, during which massive amounts of heat stored in the ocean are released into the atmosphere, temporarily raising the average annual global surface temperature by as much as 0.3 Fahrenheit.

On Mark Carney's proposed changes to the law (which would allow him to rubber-stamp approval of long-route pipelines before any impact assessments can be completed):

“It’s going to result in a lack of trust, it’s going to result in protests and it’s going to result in lawsuits (…). And that’s going to be a lot slower and it’s going to be a lot more divisive.”

Washington National Guard Aviation Crews Train for Wildfire Season

https://www.war.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/4484298/washington-national-guard-aviation-crews-train-for-wildfire-season/

#Climate, #ClimateChange, #Wildfire, #Wildfires

"Climate change has driven record-breaking outbreaks ​of fire in Africa, Asia and elsewhere this year, with conditions expected to get worse as ‌the northern hemisphere's summer approaches and El Nino weather patterns kick in".

"Fires from January to April have already caused unprecedented levels of damage, burning more than 150 million hectares (370.66 million acres) of land, 20% more than the previous record"; "temperature records could be broken this year, causing widespread drought as well as ⁠fires, with the impact of human-induced climate change compounded by an especially strong "El Nino" effect."

#Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #ClimateBreakdown #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather #Wildfires #Drought #NoPipelines

Global fire outbreaks hit record high as 'unprecedented' heat extremes loom:

• Fires damage 150 million hectares from January to April
• Africa fire damage 23% higher than previous record, Asia 40% higher
