This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Extreme heat in Arizona, extreme flooding in Canada. El Niño is really gearing up.

Oh interesting, please do explain! I thought El Niño meant warmer and wetter weather for parts of NA

"During winter, El Nino leads to wetter conditions than usual in the Southern U.S. and warmer and drier conditions in the North."

So wet north and dry south is not the average el niño pattern. Partly because el niño just started.
