Here is the link to an excellent summary analysis by Javier Vinos of the possible causes of the observationally unprecedented 2023/24 global warming spike:
The cerescokid comment under the Vinos article sums up the patent dishonesty of establishment so-called scientists like Gavin Schmidt and his chums: ‘It must be wonderful being an activist climate scientist. You just turn off the cognitive functioning button and like a talking doll say “AGW did it”. What a simple world to live in’.
Thanks for the link. Typically the skeptical studies of CAGW will not get the coverage "scientists" like Gavin promote. I am guessing you covered earlier articles on stratospheric W/V , It is not surprising that the agenda driven studies attempt to discount WV post a natural event.
In 2013 (you likely already covered these), S W/V was not so discounted.
We show observational evidence for a stratospheric water vapor feedback—a warmer climate increases stratospheric water vapor, and because stratospheric water vapor is itself a greenhouse gas, this leads to further warming. An estimate of its magnitude from a climate model yields a value of +0.3 W/(m2⋅K), suggesting that this feedback plays an important role in our climate system.
NOAA commented....
The new results suggest that the stratospheric water vapor feedback may be an important component of our climate system. The researchers estimated that at a minimum this feedback adds another ~5-10% to the climate warming from the addition of greenhouse gases, and is possibly substantially more than this amount.

Jaimie, how do you counter the mainstream CC
With facts, evidence, data and inconvenient science mainly.
