Unforced Variations: May 2026
RealClimate’s May 2026 "Unforced Variations" post aggregates four hot‑button climate topics: an upcoming El Niño forecast from Columbia University, a competitive clash of climate‑model predictions, a New York Times exposé on risky geo‑engineering schemes, and a Carbon Brief report showing renewables outpacing fossil‑fuel generation for the first time. By linking to these sources, the blog invites professionals to discuss near‑term climate volatility and long‑term energy transitions. The collection underscores how atmospheric anomalies, divergent forecasts, and policy‑driven technology choices intersect in 2026.
