Oh Tonga, Tonga, Tonga - form a Tonga line. As I stated last Spring ( before 2 climate change enhanced hurricanes damaged Florida) Climate Scientists at first thought that Tonga would warm the Earth. Later they came to the conclusion that it had little or no effect. Plus it is now 3 years in our rear view mirror. No climate scientists care about it anymore - they decided NOT to beat a dead Tonga horse.
.........Plus 2024 was the warmest on the planet. And there is no "spike". It is a gradual warming trend which increased greatly in the last 10 years. The heating is GRADUAL (as in no spike) and the result of excess CO2 forming a layer in the upper atmosphere and reflecting (refracting) some of the suns heat BACK to the Earth. Automobiles exhaust and burning coal by the increased world human population of the last 10 or 15 years PRODUCES CO2 so MASSIVE that the world's oceans can no longer absorb it all. So it drifts up into the upper atmosphere and forms a heat reflective layer - that was not present 15 or 20 years ago. Also,the excess CO2 in the ocean has killed coral reefs.
