Ok so apparently it is an article, not a bulletpoint of the other article as the ui would suggest. According to the article, some model made a while ago predicts we should only be at 1.3% warming this year and not 1.5%. That missing 0.2% is whats the mistery, so kind of misleading headline, especially if you put it in a place that doesn’t make it look like an article at all. I only found out because I accidentally clicked on it.
Who wrote this headline, an AI? It being hotter than models predicted does not mean we didn’t expect it to be hotter. A better title could’ve been: “2024 was mysteriously hotter than climate science predicted” or “global heating smashes scientists’ expectations”
Maybe the models didn’t place it as the hottest. Even with an upward trend, not every year has to be hotter than the previous and other factors (or even model inaccuracies) can yield unexplained results.

I just assumed it was sarcasm :D
I shared this before. The war on NPR for reporting facts in the past years has forced it’s editorial team to “soften” some of these facts so conservatives don’t get triggered. They receive public money from the gov and all.
We’re at +1.5c this year rather than +1.3c because of normal weather cycles exhasutbating the effects of man made climate change. It’s expected that 2025 will be back to +1.3c (or so). If it is you can expect climate deniers to be out in force, if it isn’t you can expect climate doomers to be out in force.
Just because we are stuck in the worst timeline, it will split the difference at 1.4 and both sides will be raging.
Exacerbating? 😄
Masturbating to the point of exhaustion
Yes. I couldn’t get close enough for predictive text to pick it up.
I hear this month the insurers didn’t covered fire accidents for some reason
I guarantee all of those companies have a CEO and a whole-ass board of directors that can be easily found
Yes. The corporate oligarchy owns everything now. We let the most narcissistic prosper with capitalism until they seized the means of democracy. Now the planet will be destroyed. Turns out greed is the great filter.
Maybe they wrote the headline that way under the assumption that climate-change deniers wouldn’t read past it (?)
Of course, here’s the bottom line:
Climate models suggest Earth should have heated up about 1.3 C by now, because of fossil fuel burning and other human-driven disruptions to the planet.
Beyond this, they’re just zeroing in on variables such as volcanoes, weather patterns, ship emissions, clouds, etc. So that is apparently what the somewhat misleading headline characterizes as a “mystery”.
I can feel (what’s left of) my brain melting away
NPR still one of the cooler ones, though.
