Welcome To El Niño
A warm ocean meets a world already breaking on four fronts at once — and the next two years are where they collide
Every few years, a stretch of the Pacific Ocean the size of a continent runs a fever. The warm water changes where the rain falls, and because the whole sky is connected, that change travels: a flood in Peru, a drought in Australia, a failed harvest in many countries on different corners of the map.

Sources
Every claim in a house essay carries a source. The number beside it in the catalogue card is counted from this list, so it appears when the list does. The full bibliographic records — author, year, publisher, DOI, and an archived copy so the footnotes do not rot — move across with the migration from Substack.
