[Super El Niño Escalator to Hell](

I have posted before about the stair-step signal that has emerged from the climate data which seems to be correlated to 'super' El Niño events. Hat tip to Radio Ecoshock for pointing me to the work of Kevin Trenberth who has noticed the same step-wise change in global average temps. He posted an excellent article in The Conversation dated July 11 of 2023 titled "Global temperature rises in steps – here’s why we can expect a steep climb this year and next". He was absolutely spot-on, 2024 is in the record books as soaring well above 1.5degC above preindustrial. I was inspired by that article to create an infographic which shows the connection between 'super' El Niño's and the step-wise increase in global average temperatures. I changed the baseline from 20th century average to preindustrial average, and I slightly changed the 'escalator' to better fit the correlation with super El Niño's. Otherwise the results are the same. The next two years could see us hit a solid 1.8degC above preindustrial. Welcome to hell.
