This one study decided to look at "surge" which it self defined as requiring a 55% increase in rate of global heating over a chosen time period. In other words a 50% surge in heating rate over the baseline already increased heating would be meaningless and produce a negative result.
These authors do not state there is not global warming. These authors do not state that warming is not accelerating suddenly. They only state that using a particular statistical definition of acceleration which they chose, that data does not show that acceleration.
They further acknowledge that the results for 2023 blow their data out the door and leave it as too short a time frame to be meaningful, which one year certainly is.
Lastly I will mention for all of you who regularly scream that anything that comes from a university professor is garbage because they have to toe the line on human caused climate change... How do you explain this paper which comes from university professors?? Apparently there is not some cabal of publishers and reviewers out to quash contrary thought.
