@Veritatem2021 Nope. That line shows that one single point is lower than another single point. That's it. You're completely ignoring the upward trend. You know it. I know it.
@Veritatem2021 4 1998 was exceptionally warm for its time because of a major El Niño, but recent years are substantially warmer overall. Multiple major datasets rank 2023, 2024, and 2025 as the hottest years on record.
@Veritatem2021 2 But that short-term fluctuation does not reverse the long-term warming trend. 2025 was still one of the three warmest years ever recorded globally.
