Finally, we suggest that 2024 is likely to be off the chart as the
warmest year on record. Without inside information, that would be a
dangerous prediction, but we proffer it because it is unlikely that
the current La Nina will continue a fourth year. Even a little futz of
an El Nino - like the tropical warming in 2018-19, which barely
qualified as an El Nino - should be sufficient for record global
temperature. A classical, strong El Nino in 2023-24 could push global
temperature to about +1.5°C relative to the 1880-1920 mean, which is
our estimate of preindustrial temperature.

[Heat Waves:]
Heat waves are occurring more often than they used to in major cities
across the United States, from an average of 2 heat waves per year
during the 1960s to more than 6 per year during the 2020s. The
average heat wave season across 50 major cities is 49 days longer than
it was in the 1960s. Of the 50 metropolitan areas in this indicator, 46
experienced a statistically significant increase in heat wave frequency
between the 1960s and 2020s. The increase in the length of the heat
wave season was significant in 44 locations.

There's always a Greater-Than-Zero percent chance that any "Climate"
report is just plain made up. But it's not like it matters...

Could you image standing at the back of the Titanic, at the stern,
as the bow was plunging beneath the waves, and measuring how far up
from the water it is rising?

"Oh no! The ship is flying up into the sky! We're all going to die
in the vacuum of space! Quick! Everyone! Scoop up water! Maybe it'll
weigh us down, keep us from flying up any further..."
