    I’d like to point out that there are other spikes in the temperature historically. So while the temperature is rising year over year, the large increase here may be an anomaly.

    Let’s keep working on reducing our CO2 emissions…

      But this spike is spikier than the last el Nino spike, so even if spikes do occur, this is the spikiest spike so far.

        Without actually seeing the numbers and just looking at the graph, it seems like there are several historical instances of a similar year-over-year spike of similar magnitude - around 1860, 1990 and a few more (I am doing that from memory, dates not exact).
