Just 'Freakishly High' Or Accelerating?

Widespread record land and sea temperatures have already been seen in 2024. Some climate scientists think these are broadly in line with predicted global heating patterns. Others, believe that climate breakdown is actually accelerating (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/mar/16/scientists-divided-record-heat-acceleration-climate-crisis). The El Nino phenomenon, that generally seasonally intensifies global heating, is actually currently weakening. Things are worrying, as the seas now absorb circa 90% of anthropogenic warming. Their capacity to do this may, however, be limited.
