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.

A trend that’s been visible and trackable for years “mystifies” researchers? They’re in the wrong profession if that’s true.
I wonder if reading the article would explain why they are so mystified? Or even reading the little blurb OP pasted in the body of this post?
I know it’s about the effects of one specific system. My post is more whining about clickbaity titles.
What? It’s literally about not knowing what system or systems is causing this. There’s no clickbait. They are mystified. That is a fact.
