As an overview consider how recent rapid cooling completely overcame the warming from the last 3 El Ninos (1998, 2010 and 2016). The UAH record shows that the effects of the last one were gone as of April 2021, again in November 2021, and in February and June 2022 At year end 2022 and continuing into 2023 global temp anomaly matched or went lower than average since 1995, an ENSO neutral year. (UAH baseline is now 1991-2020). Then there was an usual El Nino warming spike of uncertain cause, unrelated to steadily rising CO2 and now dropping steadily.

The spike is from Hunga Tonga in 2022. The water is mostly still up in the stratosphere. h2o vapour is the most important ghg! Why “the science” completely ignores HT is beyond me. Oh right, the narrative. Eye roll.

rclutz implies the orange line is a trend, but it is actually just the mean, i.e will always by definition be horizontal.

His purple CO2 and blue temperature are scaled poorly to hide the correlation between them.

I have used exactly the same data (UAHv6 from 1995 to present), but plotted the same information more honestly.

This plot makes clear that the overall temperature trend matches the CO2 trend. Over this period the decadal increase is 0.174°C per decade, or ~1.7°C per century. Sources are included on the plot if you would like to confirm.

rclutz is a propagandist, and a hack. Be more skeptical.

This plot makes clear that the overall temperature trend matches the CO2 trend.

Since CO2 follows temperature this is no surprise.
