Climate scientist James Hansen predicts a new El Niño event could cause global temperatures to reach 1.7 degrees Celsius by 2027. Hansen, known as the "father of climate change," bases this forecast on his team's past accurate predictions and a recent study suggesting reduced atmospheric sulfur particles are contributing to warming. This projection comes as Arctic sea ice reaches record lows and glacier melt accelerates, with potential consequences including agricultural collapse and altered weather patterns.
