This month’s record, and the longer recent period of warmth, are driven by a collection of several man-made* and natural factors acting together.

- anthropogenic global warming
- El niño/ la niña
- Solar cycles
- volcanic eruption of Hunga-Tonga
- cleaner marine fuels

Firstly, man-made* global warming has been raising the Earth’s temperature by about 0.19 °C/decade (0.34 °F/decade). This is a direct consequence of the accumulation of additional greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, especially carbon dioxide. This is the primary factor responsible for long-term warming.

(Probably you know this already, but I liked especially the other factors, as there is often talk about them, but seldom these factors are compared...)

* note: usually I would edit the quote to avoid "man-made", but in this case it makes sense: most fossil executives and heads of states are and were proud ... dicks?
