La Niņa fizzles, making record warm global temperatures more likely
https://www.yahoo.com/news/la-ni-watch-canceled-record-172232017.htmlWith stabilizing sea surface temperatures in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, climate forecasters announced Thursday that they have canceled the La Niña watch that had been in effect since April.
The diminished likelihood of a La Niña event starting this fall and lasting into the winter has ramifications far beyond the Pacific, including how the Atlantic hurricane season may evolve along with U.S. winter weather patterns.
Importantly, it also means there will not be a natural brake placed on the planet's increasing fever, fed by human-caused global warming.

Well, there's an oh-shit moment. The planet could have used a respite from the heat, but it turns out we're not gonna get it.
