Per the OP today - 2. Yes, we are warming in the long term with the Eddy 1,000-yr solar cycle ... but cooling in the shorter term due to the Feynman 100-yr sunspot cycle ... and CO2 has nothing to do with either. Oh ... and don't forget in the much longer term, we are cooling with the Milankovitch cycles - and again CO2 is a non-player - but it's a great plant food.
Per the New York Times today - Citing the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service - January makes eight months in a row that average air temperatures, across both the continents and the seas, have topped all prior records for the time of year. All in all, 2023 was Earth’s hottest year in over a century and a half. [URL="http://[URL="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/07/climate/2024-hottest-january-data.html"l[/URL]"]http://
So do I believe the OP or the NYT citing European scientists?
