Hopefully mostly because of the El Nino, otherwise we’re looking at a pretty drastic increase in rate of temperature rise.
Politically it’s good though and I hope we exceed+2 degrees this year so that we once and for all can conclude that humanity completely botched that goal and maybe, just maybe redouble our efforts to help change course.

Still, El Niño happens cyclically every few years, and this dataset spans decades. There are no other years in there similar to 2023….
I know, I merely meant the +0.4-0.6 increase compared to 2021/22 which also were record hot.
The temperature rise could exceed 10• and nothing would be done about it.
We’d absolutely do something about it — die!
And El Niño itself is driven by ocean temperatures. El Niño isn’t the cause, it’s the name of the effect.
