Trailing only 2024, June 2026 was the 2nd hottest June in recorded history – 1.49°C above the industrial baseline.
Our oceans are warming even faster than the overall air temperature and June 2026 was the hottest June in recorded history for our oceans – 1.17°C above baseline.
The rising global temperatures have served as a foundation for the heatwaves and fires in Europe and Canada. This will impact the cost of your food.
The rising ocean temperature is killing the reefs, which will also impact your food cost.
An El Niño is forming and, driven by the above, is expected to become the strongest ever. In fact, the forecast models are literally scoring off the charts – they are providing numbers above the range they are designed to test at.
The impact of the El Niño will be mostly felt in 2027. It will magnify droughts in some areas and flooding in other areas, while adding more damage to coral reefs and fish populations.
Net, we can expect 2027 will bring more damage to food production and housing.
Don’t expect this end. The scientific community believes the human-driven component of global temperature increases will slow/stop approximately ten years after the world reaches net-zero carbon emissions. However, given that we are nowhere close to that, and given that carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere for hundreds of years, high temperatures will continue for centuries, even after emissions stop. Further, with polar ice/snow melting, our ability to reflect the Sun is reduced.
Net, its only going to get worse.
Which side of this do you and your company want to be on? Do you want to remain part of the problem or become part of the solution? +70% of consumers will move their business if they find a company they believe is taking action to be part of the solution (which is why there is so much greenwashing from companies trying to cash in without becoming certified/verified).
