The depressing reality is there are so many ways this could be happening. Is it unaccounted for methane in melting permafrost? Is it the fact carbon dioxide emissions are still increasing, thanks to India and China. Or perhaps some feedback mechanism we don't know about?

"emissions are still increasing... thanks to China." I understood China led the world in renewable energy development, their total emissions are still increasing despite that?

They may be plateauing, it's unclear.
