A record-breaking El Niño is heating the Pacific Ocean to 3.05°C, surpassing the previous 2015 record months ahead of its expected peak, with forecasts predicting temperatures could reach 4.0°C by late 2023. This super El Niño, likely the largest in 1,000 years, is combining with human-caused global warming to intensify extreme weather globally, including devastating wildfires in Indonesia, droughts in Central America, and flooding in Peru and Chile, with scientists warning it could push 50 million people into acute hunger.
