Maybe mention the fact that this recent alarming jump is very likely due to us doing accidental geo-engineering for the last 80 years and we’ve only just stopped it.
We finally banned sulfur-laden bunker fuel globally for shipping last year. Dirtiest fuel in the world basically, all the left over crud from refineries straight into your cargo ship’s engine. Sounds like a good environmental move but, oh shit, guess what? Those sulfur aerosols the ships were pumping into the atmosphere worldwide were actually keeping surface temperatures down.
Climate scientists were shitting themselves over the temperature jump until someone made the connection. They’re still shitting themselves over it now, but at least it’s an explainable jump now.
It’s proof that fairly “trivial” changes by humans can have measurable effects on climate.

He doesn’t listen to facts a lot of the time 😑
Really? Finally, that’s some good news. It was infuriatingly stupid.
