When a year or month is not as warm we always say “you can’t judge on a single outlier, the average is upwards” Maybe 2023 will not turn out to be an outlier and it needs to be examined of course (and I know people are) but there’s also no need to immediately go to “we’re in uncharted waters.” Not to mention weaselly headlines like “we could be…” immediately make me lose all confidence in the author.
Media sensationalism is part of the problem even when we think they’re agreeing with us.
