Reuters: At least 10 million poor people face hunger this year and next because of droughts and erratic rains linked to record global temperatures and an expected "super" version of the evolving El Nino weather pattern, aid charity Oxfam has warned. In Ethiopia alone, 4.5 million people need food aid because a combination of El Nino and long-term climate change has made the rainy season more unpredictable, according to United Nations agencies. El Nino, caused by Pacific Ocean warming, leads to dry weather...

Nine of the ten hottest years in record happened in that same time period. This is despite all the things that traditionally make the world colder less solar activity and more aerosols in the atmosphere being dominant in the climactic system. The odd year out was 1998.

National Geographic: It looks like we're in for a strong, lengthy El Nio this year. Warmer-than-usual water in parts of the Pacific Ocean indicates that a developing El Nio is intensifying and might become one of the strongest on record. And National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists think the weather phenomenon probably will continue through the winter of 2015-16, and into the spring of 2016. El Nios have been occurring at least since the end of the last Ice Age about 10,000 years ago. But scientists...
