Hold on to your butts, comrades. We're about to get a preview of 2050. I just checked the live data, and the area off the coast of South America that is the index water for ENSO is 9° F above average in places. This is going to be a wild year.

In order to sound like a proper ghoul: What should I invest in in order to properly profit from these sky high temperatures?

Plants that grow 1-2 USDA Hardiness Zones warmer than the current map says your area is.

You're gonna profit so hard when you're the only person in your neighborhood with food.

You've also got to look at precipitation and max temperature too, though. The USDA map really only takes the average extreme low temperature into account. That's changing, but it ain't the only thing.

Very good point!

Get in early on any prediction market for 2027 setting a global temperature record.
