@davidho Please stop underestimating impact here.

Your use of "warmer" where 'hotter' is becoming #GlobalBoiling, is equally becoming wildly unsustainable. It's an essential CRISIS now, and will cost more and more ... toward a #MassExtinction.

"Closely spaced or overlapping El Niño events create cumulative cloud suppression. Each El Niño phase actively reduces low-level stratocumulus and trade-wind cumulus clouds over vast tropical and subtropical ocean areas as part of the Bjerknes feedback loop. When the next El Niño develops before full cloud recovery during intervening La Niña or neutral conditions, the albedo loss becomes progressively more persistent, producing the observed multi-decadal linear decline. […] Major El Niño periods (especially 2015–16 and 2023–24) coincide with accelerated albedo drops and incomplete recoveries."
