What is geoscience?
Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

As in accelerating. Not just continuously getting warmer, but doing so faster and faster.
Which is what it's been doing for decades
I mean, yes, but if you view the bump in 2015 as some anomaly, then things were actually surprisingly linear, starting in the 70s:

2023 isn't on that chart yet, but same organisation, same baseline period, puts it at 1.2ยฐC (Source).
So, not only does it confirm that the 2015 bump was not an anomaly, 2023 is actually an even bigger bump, which just makes it a lot clearer that we are accelerating.
Yes. I could see either a line or a curve fitting there, but there's a lot more bumps than I expected.
Really interesting graph. Thank you.
