We are still warming, at an accelerated rate.
The only thing that explains all the data - is that humans burning fossil fuels is causing global warming.
It is making the ocean more acidic, and melting virtually all land ice, more and more quickly.
We see greater evaporation, which leads to more precipitation.
We are seeing a weakened and wobbly jet stream, which lets the cold air to far lower latitudes than we used to see, just a few decades ago.
Wildfires and tornadoes don't have a season, anymore.
Species extinction is far more rapid than any of the previous 5 major extinctions.
Ice harvests which was a huge business 100 years ago - is not even possible now.
Building codes that required footings a minimum of 4' below the surface, are not needed, as the ground barely freezes a few inches deep, and thaws to mud numerous times during the winter.
