A powerful Super El Nino event is right now brewing deep within the Pacific Ocean.
The meteorological wrecking ball that is El Nino is back.
The Climate Prediction Center gives a 69% chance this year's El Nino may be the strongest
since 1950. The heat released by the Pacific Ocean during that event could spike temperatures into unseen territory.
Making 2027 one of the hottest years, perhaps even the hottest year on record.
And this year, it's already shaping up to be, by far, the strongest and most severe on record.
And to wreak havoc across the world.
Today, I speak to my colleague, global climate reporter Chico Harlan,
about El Nino's history, its inner workings, and its destructive powers.
It's Wednesday, August 19th.
