Summary
The article is an opinion piece by Becky S. Korich discussing the anticipated "Super El Niño" of 2026, which could be one of the most intense in recent decades. It references environmentalist Bill McKibben's warning to "prepare for chaos." The author argues that such climate alerts often feel distant and technical, but the 2026 El Niño will not be an isolated event—it will amplify the ongoing climate crisis. The piece reflects on how humans are evolutionarily wired to react to immediate threats (like a bear in front of us), not to slow-building, generational dangers like climate change.
