This is important - Honest Brokers (TM) and their echo chamber will often point to the decreasing global wildfire, but that reflects changing human land use practices. In temperate and boreal forests, climate's role is more clear. See this paper by Cunningham et al. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Experts say the world is experiencing two opposing fire trends because of human impact.

Was curious how ENSO forecasts did during the 2023-2024 El Nino event. The model plume bracketed the eventual NINO3.4 trajectory fairly well, with some outliers in both directions (e.g. AUS-ACCESS, MetFrance, BCC, CPC Markov) - data from IRI: iri.columbia.edu/our-expertis...

Zeke HausfatherWith all the July model runs now in, it is very likely that 2026 will see the largest El Niño event since records began in the late 1800s – and potentially by a truly mind-blowing margin. The median estimate is now 3.6C, roughly 0.8C hotter than the prior record (2.75C). www.theclimatebrink....

Scott WaldmanThe White House has reconstituted the U.S. Global Change Research Program, which tracks climate change and produces the National Climate Assessment. The Trump version will focus on "positive" climate effects and be used to protect fossil fuel companies from lawsuits. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...
