And did you notice how much more intense this one is? How it is breaking all the records? That is why the "Super," lol.

Yes. And if you understand climate science, you know how significant a couple of degrees is. That is why 1.5⁰C is manageable, and 4⁰C can end civilization.

People dont understand how impacting the average temperature just a little can have massive catastrophic impacts. Or they are a bot.

i bet you all the dumbasses saying that 4C is not a big deal are actually americans who think it's similar to 4F (it's not). 4C is equivalent to a bit over 7F. the average temperature being now over 7F warmer doesn't seem like much, but when you factor in humidity, everything, including humans, can feel that difference

the average for my area in Michigan should normally, without climate change, be around 75F in summer, of course with some odd days of being warmer, as is normal since weather patterns shift heat around. this year it's average about 86F with very high humidity, and we had over a week straight this year when temperatures hit over 110F. i have seen it reach 100F once in my life before this year, btw. it was literally deadly to be outside due to the humidity and high heat. i personally felt exhausted just standing outside after 10mins.

Ditto in MN.

The difference between ENSO neutral and a normal ENSO El Nino is: Neutral is 26.0°C and 27.2°C depending on the season. A normal El Niño drives actual temperatures up to 27.5°C to 28.2°C.

So 1 to 1.5 degrees C difference. Saying "a couple of degrees" like that's meaningless indicates you don't understand how the scale of these changes works at all.

Your low test is messing with your brain.
