"Weird" record global warmth continues
By Andrew Freedman



Data: Copernicus Climate Pulse; Chart: Thomas Oide/Axios
October continues this year's unexpectedly persistent record global warmth, with temperatures back at unprecedented levels.

The big picture: The past two years have been the warmest since instrument record-keeping began in the 19th century, and very likely long before that.

  • Climate scientists still don't have a full explanation for why the planet was so hot last year and now again during this one.
Zoom in: Typically, El Niño years and at least the early part of the following year tend to be especially warm, since the natural climate cycle boosts global temperatures on top of human-caused warming.

Yes, but: El Niño doesn't explain the magnitude and extent of the warmth seen during the past two years, though one recent study claims it may.

What they're saying: "The persistence of this warming is unusual and not particularly consistent with recent prior El Niño years," climate scientist Zeke Hausfather told Axios via email.

  • "I think it's safe to say this year (and last) have still been really weird, and we still lack a good explanation for why," he said, noting the abundance of partial explanations.
