As if we couldn't tell

 

Eos is the magazine of the American Geophysical Union, and they have many good articles that have their fingertips on the pulse of the planet.  So, it's not a read an article from Eos taking about the planetary fever, aka global warming (or global heating, which some sectors prefer).

The Past 3 Years Have Been the Three Hottest on Record

"The report’s authors called the exceptional heat of the past 3 years a “warming spike” that may indicate an acceleration in the rate of climate change. “The warming observed from 2023 through 2025 stands out clearly from the long-term trend,” said Robert Rohde, chief scientist at Berkeley Earth, in a statement.

Such a spike may also indicate that the past warming rate is no longer a reliable predictor of future warming, the authors wrote.

“2023, 2024, and 2025 collectively cause us to rethink” Earth’s warming rate, Rohde said in a press briefing. Whether warming is accelerating or not, Earth’s temperature is rapidly exceeding key thresholds, such as the Paris Agreement limit of 1.5°C (2.7°F), he said."

And to think that there are people that a) deny that this is even happening, b) deny what's causing it, and c) call it a hoax.

It's not good, folks.
