Ars Live: What's up with the unexpected rise in temperatures

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
On Thursday, we encourage you to join us for a live chat with Zeke Hausfather, a climate scientist and researcher at Berkeley Earth
We'll talk a bit about how he got into climate science and ended up at Berkeley Earth and the role that organization plays in the world of
climate science
It was launched by a physicist who was somewhat skeptical of the work being done by climate scientists, but it has evolved into one of the
key groups that does the math needed to track the planet's temperatures.For the past couple of years, those temperatures have seen a
remarkable rise to record highs, at one point setting a yearlong string where every month set a record for the warmest instance of that
month on record
The rise leaves us at risk of exceeding key climate targets much earlier than expected and has left the climate science community scrambling
to explain the intensity of the heat
So we plan to ask Zeke a bit about what scientists are thinking about the dramatic nature of these changes, attempts to explore the
relationship between temperatures, and things like tipping points and individual weather events.And all that leads to the key question: What
does this tell us about where our climate is likely to go over the rest of this century?After that, we'd like to turn things over to your
questions
