GeoTales described a scenario where several agricultural regions would be simultaneously affected, while dam production would decrease, trade routes would be disrupted, and populations would experience exceptional heat. It specified that the term "super El Niño" referred to an episode of about +2 °C or more in the Niño 3.4 area, without constituting a universal category comparable to that of cyclones. According to GeoTales, the bulletin published on October 8 by the World Meteorological Organization forecasted an average anomaly of about +3.7 °C in this area for the period from October to December, with a peak around December. It also reported that NOAA assessed the probability of reaching at least +2.5 °C over three months at 83% according to its RONI index, mentioning an episode likely to exceed those observed since 1950. It emphasized that the two agencies used different methods, but their figures indicated an exceptionally intense event. GeoTales explained that observations showed increased heat beneath the surface of the Pacific, a deeper thermocline, as well as anomalies in westerly winds and precipitation in the central and eastern parts of the ocean. It reminded that El Niño is a natural phenomenon and estimated that it would be too simplistic to attribute this episode solely to climate change, while adding that background warming could exacerbate its consequences. To illustrate the possible impacts, GeoTales mentioned Guatemala, citing a video published the day before by LIMIT Media. It wrote that in the "dry corridor" that also crosses Honduras and El Salvador, the lack of rain and crop losses were already undermining the food and income of families relying on maize and bean cultivation. #ElNiño #ChangementClimatique #Météo (translated)

Louis Duclos wrote that a large-scale cyberattack struck several major French retailers on Monday. According to him, nearly 150 Intermarché stores would have been affected, with losses potentially reaching several million euros nationwide. He stated that hackers had gained remote control of refrigeration regulation systems manufactured by Danfoss, causing forced and continuous defrosting with programmed temperatures of up to 50 °C. Duclos added that stocks of fresh and frozen products were destroyed within hours and that two supermarkets in Haguenau were already reporting 270,000 euros worth of lost goods. He also highlighted the associated food waste. Duclos estimated that the attack revealed a worrying vulnerability for national security. In the event of a conflict, he wrote, a hostile power could exploit such a flaw to simultaneously disrupt thousands of refrigeration facilities, destroy food stocks, and disrupt supply chains in France. He argued that the digital dependence of the food supply chain constituted a potential destabilization leverage and that this threat must be taken very seriously. #Cyberattaque #Sécurité #Alimentation (translated)

Jon De Lorraine stated that a cyberattack targeted the refrigerated facilities of several French brands, including Intermarché, Leclerc, and Super U. According to his message, the hackers exploited control systems from the manufacturer Danfoss and hijacked the defrost function, causing continuous operation and set temperatures reaching 50 °C. He indicated that around 150 Intermarché stores would be affected and that stock of fresh and frozen products would have been destroyed. In Haguenau, in Alsace, two supermarkets reportedly suffered losses of 270,000 euros, he wrote, adding that the national toll could reach several million euros. He cited BFM and Je Bosse en Grande Distribution as sources and specified that the assessments were still provisional. #Cyberattaque #SécuritéInformatique #Supermarchés (translated)

She added that the concerned activist teacher had not understood that this could affect her or her daughter. #féminisme #laïcité #éducation (translated)
