Comments from me in today’s Guardian on the chance of El Niño in 2026 & record global temperatures in 2026 or 27.
TL:DR La Niña is unlikely, but either neutral or El Niño more likely in 2026. With accelerating global warming, we may not even need a strong El Niño to give record global temperatures.

What really broke on the grid during Storm Fern – it wasn’t wind or solar Winter Storm Fern knocked out power for millions of people across the US and reignited a familiar political and media fight over what really causes large-scale outages during extreme weather. To separate the rhetoric from the operational reality, Electrek spoke with Leah Qusba, CEO of GoodPower, a research, strategic communications, and campaigning organization focused on advancing the global renewable energy transition. In this Q&A, Qusba walks through what tends to fail first during major winter storms, what outage data shows about the role of wind, solar, and fossil generation during Fern, why fuel supply and winterization still matter more than the generation mix, and how coordinated disinformation campaigns exploit moments of uncertainty after grid emergencies and what works to counter them. more…

Meanwhile, these very companies continue to portray themselves as being a part of the climate solution, cast doubt on climate science, and actively block efforts to transition to a clean energy future.

Hi stargazers! Tonight, look for the constellation #Orion the Hunter. It’s a constant companion on winter evenings in the Northern Hemisphere and on summer nights in the Southern Hemisphere. It’s probably the easiest #constellation to spot thanks to its iconic Belt. 🌌🔭
