The rise is greater than linear - it is exponential. I would be only guessing, but I believe that the CO2 and methane in the upper atmosphere has increased rapidly (related to world population increases) in recent years and is refracting greater heat energy back to the Earth. And remember the polar regions have seen 4 times the heat as we have in the US. The future is likely to have continued warming and that included the ocean waters round Florida. The heated water could likely produce even stronger hurricanes than we have experienced (so far) this summer.
