El Niño is already the strongest we’ve seen in more than 15 years, and it’s only getting stronger, according to a report released Monday from the U.N.’s World Meteorological Organization.

In fact, the weather pattern, which has already delivered extreme weather in parts of the world, is on track to be among the most powerful ever. It’s already been blamed for extreme weather events around the world, including major coral bleaching, an intense cyclone season, wildfires in Southeast Asia and drought conditions in parts of Africa, to name just a few.

For California, it means increased risk of heavy flooding and mudslides. Bill Patzert, a climatologist for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory told the L.A. Times that “El Niño is here. And it is huge,” adding that locals should expect “one storm after another like a conveyor belt.”

Disregard the Global Warming nonsense and look at the El Nino numbers...

Already the highest anomaly on record and no signs it's ready to peak.

Could be an interesting year from CA to TX.

We desperately need a Climate Change Forum, and soon. Maybe some location like Paris in November.

Outbreaks of unrest due to racial attacks on campuses across the nation. Dogs and cats living together. And so on.

“Intensifying El Niño could have unprecedented impact”

There have been El Niños a lot longer than El Niño has had a name, so it is not knowable whether this year’s El Niño will indeed have “unprecedented impact”.

Of course this is no surprise because all the global warming models predicted it.

How about Aleppo, Syria? Everybody knows it is secure and the ISIS threat is contained. Obunghole said so.

UN? Give me a break. Our once sterling tecnnically excellent scientific community has degenerated into a bunch of climate Nazi’s and enviroweenies. I don’t believe a word they say anymore. They falsify the data to support their lunatic theories. The Golden age of the Twentieth Century and space exploration are gone forever. Our education system produces mostly zombies now. See Watter’s World.

Lol, whatever!

I’ll be sure to elect more democrats and change my country’s economic system and give all my money to the UN, and surrender my gun rights to fight it.

Lord knows, the last thing I want is a rain storm on a cold morning.
