@BrKloeckner Well, this is precisely why I asked you to show your data. I believe (as I implied in my original post) that there is far too much emphasis on narratives, and not enough on DATA. So let's talk about data.
The warming so far (~1.45°C) is only *very slightly* higher than the expected warming in 2025 in the SSP2-4.5 scenario (~1.2–1.4°C). Correcting for a strong El Niño and reduced aerosols, we're basically in range.
So I would say your assertion is incorrect.
