The planet had its biggest temperature spike in modern history in February

Well. There’s some good news. February was 2.43 degrees F warmer than the 1950-1980 average.

The temperature anomaly is due to El Nino stirring up ocean waters, dredging up warmer waters from the depths. El Nino years are typically warmer for just that reason… but this time El Nino started off from a warmer baseline, with warmer deep waters. As El Nino fades off the temperatures should decline, but probably won’t go back down to average.

And as always, if a good fraction of this warming is caused by anthropogenic carbon dioxide, who’s to blame? The socialists, communists, environmentalists and other anti-nuclear activists.
