About the Creator
El Niño is likely to return in 2026. Here's what that means for Houston and Texas.
La Niña has been active since mid-October. However, according to the January update from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, it’s likely to end over the next couple of months, and a transition to El Niño is likely to occur later this year.

Trump’s Greenland Threats Push Europe Toward Divorcing America
When you think of Greenland, the first things that probably come to mind are icebergs, polar bears, and maybe some adventurous explorers. But lately, Greenland has become the center of a major diplomatic drama — one that’s forcing Europe to question its long-standing relationship with the United States. And the spark? Donald Trump’s threats over Greenland. The Controversy: Trump’s Unusual Move Back in January 2026, Trump shocked the world again, not with an election campaign but with a bold — and many would say bizarre — plan to acquire Greenland. But he didn’t stop at just “expressing interest.” He threatened eight European nations with tariffs — starting at 10% and potentially climbing to 25% — unless Denmark agreed to sell Greenland to the U.S. Yes, you read that right: tariffs on allies to buy a remote Arctic island. For Europe, this was more than shocking — it felt like a betrayal from a partner they’ve relied on for decades. Europe’s Response: Outrage and Solidarity European leaders didn’t hold back. Germany, France, Norway, the UK, and others banded together to condemn Trump’s approach. The message was clear: Europe won’t be blackmailed. Even usually cautious leaders spoke up. Norway’s Prime Minister bluntly said, “Threats have no place among allies.” Meanwhile, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized that tariffs between allies “have no place” and could undermine decades of cooperation. This isn’t just a political disagreement. Europe sees this as a test of trust, sovereignty, and alliance reliability. Why Greenland Matters At first glance, Greenland might seem like just a frozen island. But strategically, it’s a big deal: Location: Greenland sits between North America and Europe, controlling key air and sea routes. Military Importance: It hosts radar and U.S. military infrastructure critical to early-warning systems. Resources: Beneath the ice lie minerals and rare earth elements that the world desperately needs. For Europe, Greenland is also about principle. The island belongs to Denmark and the Greenlandic people, not Washington. Europe’s support for Denmark shows a broader commitment to respecting sovereignty — a principle that Trump’s threats directly challenged. The Bigger Picture: A Crisis of Trust Greenland may just be the tip of the iceberg. For years, European nations have felt frustrated by U.S. policies that seemed unpredictable — whether it’s climate agreements, trade deals, or security commitments. Trump’s Greenland threats amplified these frustrations. Suddenly, Europe is questioning something fundamental: Can the U.S. be trusted as a long-term partner? Some European leaders have even started talking about a kind of “divorce” from the U.S. — not literally leaving NATO, but rethinking how dependent they should be on America for security and strategic decisions. Europe’s Path Toward Strategic Independence This Greenland drama is accelerating discussions about European strategic autonomy. Basically, Europe is asking: Should we be able to protect our own interests without always relying on the U.S.? The EU has long talked about building stronger defense capabilities and investing more in its own military, but progress has been slow. Greenland might just be the wake-up call that finally pushes Europe to act. What’s Next? So, what happens from here? Europe isn’t just going to sit quietly. Leaders are looking at: Economic counter-measures like tariffs on U.S. goods Strengthening European defense and security collaboration Reasserting Europe’s role on the global stage, with less reliance on Washington Even if Europe doesn’t fully “divorce” America, Greenland is changing the terms of the transatlantic partnership. Europe will now demand more respect, clearer rules, and recognition of its sovereignty — and they’re not afraid to make that clear. Why This Matters to All of Us You might wonder why this matters if you’re not in Europe or the U.S. Greenland may seem remote, but this story is about alliances, trust, and how global power is shifting. The way Europe responds could reshape the world order, affect trade, military cooperation, and even the global economy. And for anyone following U.S.-European relations, it’s a reminder that sometimes the smallest places — even a frozen island — can have huge global consequences. Bottom line: Trump’s Greenland threats aren’t just a bizarre footnote in history. They’re a wake-up call for Europe, forcing the continent to rethink its ties with America and consider a future where it can act independently — strategically, economically, and politically. Greenland, icy as it is, might just melt the old rules of alliance forever.
