February 2016 global temperature anomaly reached 1.37°C, marking a 4.2 standard deviation spike above the 60-point rolling average of 0.73°C. This represents the highest anomaly in the dataset, with readings climbing steadily from 0.84°C in Sept 2015. The timing coincides with atmospheric CO₂ hitting 431.12 ppm (up 0.6% over 3 months) and multiple economic indicators at record/deviation levels. The temperature surge follows a clear upward trend over the past 5 months. What factors might explain this unprecedented temperature deviation occurring alongside these economic and atmospheric shifts?
