The Most Powerful Super El Niño Ever Recorded

Right now, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a pattern first noticed by Peruvian fishermen centuries ago is unfolding again, and NOAA says there's a 97 percent chance it lasts into 2027. We break down how El Niño actually works, from Gilbert Walker's discovery to the scientist who finally connected ocean and atmosphere into one system. Then we go through the real damage, the 1997-98 and 2015-16 events, Great Barrier Reef coral bleaching, hurricane season shifts, and record breaking global temperatures. This is the full story behind the climate pattern shaping the planet right now. Subscribe to Uncharted Odyssey for more deep dives into the forces shaping our world.
