NEW: Electric bills are too damn high. Rates have increased as much as 90% over the last 15 years as utility companies hike prices more than ever before. There’s a massive bribery and corruption scheme fueling the skyrocketing bills.

Top June 1982. Bottom 2023. 1982 became a super El Nino, 2023 maybe by late fall. You see the respective El Niño's in the Pacific, but what stands out is the red in 2023 across the oceans. This is what background climate heating has accomplished in 4 decades. H/T @ericfisher
