To understand what's coming in 2027, we need to understand El Nino, the giant weather pattern dominating the Pacific Ocean and indirectly the planet, so here's a good video below on the subject.
In 2027, we will get plenty of rain... but not in the right places. So droughts and floods will compound a difficult harvest due to the lack of fertilizers which were not produced in 2026 thanks to the closing of the Hormuz Strait. The longer it last, the more difficult 2027 could be. Not in Europe and the US which will only suffer the inconvenience of higher prices but in developing countries where foodstuff may rise from 30% to 50% of average household's budgets.
One subject the video does not address is that although we now see El Nino coming months in advance, we still do not understand why and what exactly is the trigger.
As for Global Warming, it is a subject we have discussed at length in previous articles. There is no such thing as "weather before the Industrial Age". Our scientific measurements start in the 1880s long after the start of the Industrial Revolution which at the beginning was not producing much CO2 anyway. At that time, temperatures were already rising steadily probably since the trough of the 17th century. Since, CO2 emissions have increased tremendously but temperatures have remained steady on a gradual upward slope. Does this affect El Nino? As the video explains; We don't know. Possible but not certain since the causes of the phenomenon are not clear. The reality is that the complexity of the Earth atmosphere and ocean systems is beyond our current understanding. A perfect subject for advanced AI in the coming years!
