The Costs of the Climate Crisis in
Michigan
May 15, 2026
Historically, scientists and climate activists have been cautious about tying specific weather events to #globalwarming. In " #AngryWeather: Heat waves, floods, storms, and the new science of climate change"

www.sierraclub.org/michigan/blo...
““The Costs of the #ClimateCrisis in Michigan May 15, 2026 Historically, scientists and climate activists have been cautious about tying specific weather events to #globalwarming. In “Angry Weather: #Heatwaves, #floods, #storms, and the new science of #climatechange” Dr. #FriederikeOtto, a pioneer in attributional science, explains that scientists now have a growing capacity to tie specific weather related events to the impact of #climatechange. Dr. Otto’s work is a significant contribution to the understanding of how global warming affects our life on this planet. However, the effects of climate change today are now so significant that they can be observed casually. Dr. #KatherineHayhoe uses the term “#climateweirding”explaining that the weather has become noticeably different because of global warming. Observation of recent weather events make clear the effect of climate weirding and the cost of it in our everyday lives. Recently, the #flooding in Michigan was so extreme that many roads were washed out, dams failed and dozens more dams were at risk. Many roads that were not washed out were underwater so long that the road bed has deteriorated, requiring extensive repair. Your taxes and insurance rates will pay for this. Insurance companies are acutely aware of the impact of climate change on insurance rates. In 2018, #DennisHaysberth said in an Allstate commercial, “There have been 26 one-in-500-year storms in the last decade.” Your insurance rates reflect this. Insurance rates are climbing dramatically because of “climate weirding.” There are states that have been hit so dramatically because of global warming that insurance companies will not insure homes. Nationally, insurance rates increased around 20% between 2022 and 2023, and Michigan is following a similar trajectory. Climate scientists warn that Michigan will experience a significant increase in #icestorms. In the last couple of years, ice storms have destroyed three million acres of forests in upper Michigan. Foresters warn it will take decades for the forests to recover. Experts believe the damage from ice storms in the spring of 2025 are now setting us up for future disasters as millions of acres of storm-damaged forest in Northern Michigan are #dryingout and could fuel an unusually dangerous #wildfire season this spring. As of this writing, two serious wildfires have been reported in Michigan. One in Oscoda county that has covered 100 acres and one in Presque Isle County that has covered 180 and is not fully contained. In 2023, smoke from fires in Canada choked much of the population in Michigan, exacerbating the health issues for people with lung disorders. Health insurance prices will reflect these health problems but other health costs will not be as easily measured. The #fires were made much worse because of the #drought in Canada, enhanced by global warming and covering an area greater than the land mass of Michigan. Lumber prices are much higher due to these phenomena. The hidden costs of these #disasters are not reflected in the price of fossil fuel, the primary driver of climate change. Despite the growing evidence, the idea persists that climate scientists have been wrong about global warming. Scientists readily admit they have made errors, but are documenting that #destructiveweather has progressed much faster than predicted. According to climate scientists the current weather pattern will only get worse. We, as a society, are at a turning point. We must take action, both individually and collectively. By the time you read this, the Sierra Club Lansing Lobby Day will have passed. If we are to be successful in the fight against climate change, these efforts cannot be a one-day event. Two issues are the themes this year: data centers and community solar. Both have huge implications for global warming. Contact your legislators and ask them to put a moratorium on data centers. This will give us time to work on addressing the environmental issues around the enormous rush to build large data centers. Community solar is another issue that can have a significant impact on global warming in the state. Community solar allows people who are renters or cannot have solar on their property to own a portion of a solar array. The participants have electricity at a lower cost. You can find out how to contact your legislator at this link. Keep up to date with additional actions you can take through the Michigan Chapter Update and the weekly Sierra Club Lansing Minute by signing up here for the Michigan Chapter’s Instagram or Facebook pages. We must get politicians to pass laws to protect us from global warming caused weather and climate phenomena. Also take individual action. Forty-three percent (43%) of carbon emissions are determined by individual actions. Buy energy efficient appliances. Your next car should be an EV. Get solar installed on your home. Switch from gas appliances to electric ones. Insulate your home. Time is short and we must act now. Questions or comments can be directed to Mike Buza at theoriginalzuba@yahoo.com “”

Snip: ‘"ElNiño is a natural phenomenon. It comes and goes. ClimateChange on the contrary gets worse as long as we do not stop burning fossil fuels. So climate change is the reason to #FreakOut."’ #SuperElNiño. ‘“#CLIMATE > The strongest #ElNiño on record is brewing. Here's what could happen Climate scientists warn that the strongest El Niño on record could hit later this year but it is "not the reason to freak out". Scientists are predicting the strongest El Niño weather pattern ever, with human-caused #climatechange worsening its effects. “I think we’re going to see weather events that we’ve never seen in modern history before,” WFLA-TV Chief Meteorologist and Climate Specialist #JeffBerardelli, in Tampa, Florida, warns. An El Niño event is expected to develop from the middle of this year, impacting global #temperature and #rainfall patterns, according to the World Meteorological Organization. While the models indicate that this may be a strong event, the #WMO cautioned that the models also have a harder time making accurate forecasts in the spring. What is El Niño? El Niño (Spanish for 'the boy') is a natural climate phenomenon in which sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific are warmer than average. This then alters the world’s weather patterns. Its counterpart, La Niña, is marked by waters that are cooler than average. Berardelli says that an El Niño event essentially redistributes heat on Earth. Currently, the ”“Why are scientists worried about this year's El Niño predictions? It looks like the predictive models are onto something, says California Institute for Water Resources climate scientist Daniel Swain. That is because the volume and the intensity of the subsurface warm water anomalies – or pulses of unusually warm water that are a key part of El Niño physics – are about as large as we’ve seen in the historical record, he added. The very strongest events are commonly referred to as “super El Ninos.” However, this term isn't used by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Zero Carbon Analytics put the likelihood of El Niño emerging between May and July 2026 at 61 per cent, saying "some models are forecasting the possibility of a very strong El Niño." Adding that, "The occurrence of extreme El Niño and La Niña events has increased since the 1950s. Some projections suggest a doubling of extreme El Niño events as global temperatures continue to rise. “If the Pacific releases a lot of heat, it supercharges the climate system and wreaks havoc weather-wise, Berardelli explains. With more heat, there will be stronger heat waves, worsening drought in some areas, but also more moisture in the air that leads to more intense floods. El Niño also subdues the hurricane season in the Atlantic because there is so much heat in the Pacific that outcompetes the Atlantic, Berardelli adds. Places like the Caribbean will be extra dry this summer and likely have fewer tropical systems, he warns. “Since the start of this year, wildfires have burned more than 150 million hectares globally - double what burned in the same period in 2024. A strong El Niño "can have a major effect on wildfire risk later in the year", says Dr #TheodoreKeeping of Imperial College London. "Whilst in many parts of the world the global fire season is yet to heat up, this rapid start in combination with the forecast El Niño means that we could be looking at a particularly severe fire year." Wildfires don't just kill people in the moment, they impact air quality for hundreds of kilometres around leading to many different health problems. For example, the Australian wildfires in 2019, killed 33 people, but its smoke caused 417 excess deaths and thousands of hospitalisations for six months afterwards. About 12 per cent of global human mortality from fire fine particulate matter in the 2010s were attributed to climate change. Years of extreme regional fires across global forests are now more likely compared to a pre-industrial climate. Annual potential burning hours were estimated to increase by 36 per cent between 1975 and 2024, while extreme days with more than 12 potential burning hours rose 81 to 233 per cent in fire-prone biomes. “What are the impacts of a super El Niño? El Niño has global impacts. Across the United States, it looks like this summer will be hotter than normal, with significant heatwaves. While the specifics are hard to pinpoint this far out, Berardelli is also expecting to see more frequent daily thunderstorms in the Southwest US. Forest degradation, driven by wildfires, logging and drought, affects about 40 per cent of the Amazon. This could be exacerbated in 2026 with a strong El Niño. The excess heat brought to the surface by El Niño, combined with the planet’s warming due to climate change, will lead to record-breaking global warmth, Swain says. He expects to see record global warm temperatures later this year, next year or both. “#MichaelMann, a University of Pennsylvania climate scientist, says that while El Niño boosts global temperatures a bit for a year or two, it’s basically a “zero-sum game.” It typically oscillates back toward La Nina, which in turn lowers global temperatures for a year or two, he adds. The thing to worry about is the longer-term, steady warming trend that will continue as long as people continue to burn fossil fuels, Mann said last week. Dr #FriederikeOtto, Professor in #ClimateScience at #ImperialCollege London and co-founder of the #WorldWeatherAttribution, explains: "El Niño is a natural phenomenon. It comes and goes. #ClimateChange on the contrary gets worse as long as we do not stop burning fossil fuels. So climate change is the reason to freak out." While we can not control natural phenomena, "we have the knowledge and technology to go very, very far away from using fossil fuels", Dr Otto explains. Countless scientific papers show that global leaders are not doing enough to tackle climate change by transitioning away from burning fossil fuels. “Over the past couple of years we have watched governments quietly step back from their #ClimateCommitments. The language has softened, the ambition has retreated, and some have behaved as though the #ClimateCrisis was a chapter," says Dr. #JemilahMahmood, Executive Director, #SunwayCentreForPlanetaryHealth. The first ever high-level conference to discuss concrete ways to transition away from fossil fuels was held in Colombia in April. Donny the Arse was purposefully left off the invite list as it was a gathering of leaders who are committed to the climate. Some progress was made, with the #COP31 climate talks in November planned as the next meeting of international leaders.” Excerpt From “From record heat to floods and drought – what’s in store if a ‘super’ El Niño hits this year” Euronews https://apple.news/AFKCKE2XFTh6htfPvNPZkyQ This material may be protected by copyright.””
