From NOAA:
"The January–March global surface temperature was 0.88°C (1.58°F) above average — the fifth-highest January–March temperature in the 143-year record. The five warmest January–March periods have occurred since 2016. According to NCEI's statistical analysis, the year 2022 is very likely to rank among the ten warmest years on record and has a 39.9% chance to rank among the five warmest years on record."
So your statement that things have been cooler, no colder, than average is simply a lie. There may be isolated areas with local variations, but the global trend continues upward.
