The December update shows that El Nino is now the most likely ENSO state towards late Summer in 2026.
In case you need a reminder -- that's when a lot of absorbed ocean heat concentrated in the tropical Western Pacific gets dumped into the atmosphere.

10 years after the Paris Agreement, we have reached a '3-year average global temperature anomaly of +1.5°C in 2 or more datasets'!
And we can't blame El Niño for this, as ENSO was on average negative during this period.
The Paris Agreement was doomed from the start..

November kept on going where October left off, once again reaching an average anomaly of 1.55°C over the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline, making November the third warmest since records began, and likely the third warmest in the last 120,000 years.

Great to see NASA GISS back online!
Using a 1880-1920 pre-industrial reference baseline (as preferred by @drjamesehansen.bsky.social et al.), 2025 will be close to +1.5°C.
That's with the tropical Pacific causing some relative cooling (La Niña)!

The RATE of CO₂ increase keeps increasing.
It's not exponential (like the @clubofrome.org 1972 'Limit's to growth' projection), but there is little indication of the growth rate stabilizing (let alone decreasing) any time soon either.

It's looking like 2025 may end up with the second lowest global sea-ice maximum since records began in 1988, behind only 2024. And 2016 is just barely higher.
