March 2016 global temperature anomaly reached 1.35°C, marking a 3.6 standard deviation spike above the 60-point rolling average of 0.74°C. This represents an extreme statistical outlier in the temperature record. The anomaly follows a clear warming trend since late 2015, rising from 1.07°C in October to this peak. Simultaneously, atmospheric CO₂ hit 431.12 ppm with continued 0.6% quarterly growth. What makes this temperature spike particularly noteworthy given the concurrent economic indicators showing record low unemployment and rising Treasury yields?
