Global warming is about to accelerate

Believe it or not, average global surface temperatures have actually been relatively cool over the last three years. But that's about to change, Axios' Andrew Freedman writes.

    Why it matters: Temperatures are expected to jump this year. And next year could set a new global record.
??? The big picture: A rare "triple dip" La Niña in the tropical Pacific Ocean kept '22 temperatures in check.

    La Niña events — cooler-than-average waters in the equatorial tropical Pacific — tend to put a lid on global temperatures.
2022 still wound up as the fifth warmest year on record, according to NASA and the Copernicus Climate Change Service.

    If an El Niño event — warmer-than-average ocean temperatures — sets in across the tropical Pacific, 2023 could set a record.
Go deeper: El Niño vs. La Niña.
