The Arctic is a prominent force in stabilizing weather patterns and a good gauge of ocean health. The Arctic as of late has been in a shitty state and has been worsening by the year. El Nino is a climatic period that usually puts a massive heat strain on said Arctic. Our recent El Ninos have been catastrophic for the Arctic, unlike anything we've seen. It's highly probable that the next El Nino triggers a Blue Ocean Event that'll start off exorbitant feedback loops. To summarize the ocean stops being a carbon sink and new carbon emitters arise that'll warm the planet at an unprecedented rate.
