Taking into account all known factors, the planet warmed 0.2 °C more last year than climate scientists expected. More and better data are urgently needed.
We need answers for why 2023 turned out to be the warmest year in possibly the past 100,000 years. And we need them quickly.
It seems like some of what you said doesn’t check out with this chart, like there was a four year Nina in '98-'02, and were currently in a very strong Nino.
Not trying to be contradictory and like maybe this isn’t the best source, but can you give context on how what you said meshes with this?
So I grabbed my source from NOAA which is the US govt agency that covers atmospheric and ocean patterns. I’m on mobile so you’ll have to forgive the non imbeded link.
I looked for a graph of the nino/a events over the past few decades and literally just grabbed the first result
