EU monitor says global temperatures were 1.75C above preindustrial levels, extending run of unprecedented highs

Climate scientists had expected this exceptional spell to subside after a warming El Niño event peaked in January 2024 and conditions shifted to an opposing, cooling La Niña phase. But the heat has lingered at record or near-record levels, prompting debate about what other factors could be driving it to the top end of expectations.

    I’m just pointing out they are two parts of the same thing, and both have been used in actual science research for close to a century now. More correct reporting tends to describe it as man-made climate change, caused by global warming. They go hand in hand. I get what your point is, but that same point has also been used by deniers to say that everything’s fine because climate change is normal. This one is not.
