Soaring temperatures. Unusually hot oceans. Record high levels of carbon pollution in the atmosphere and record low Antarctic ice. We’re only halfway through 2023 and so many climate records are being broken.

Its cycles, and it depends when you start the measurements from. If you start measuring 38 years ago, then there is no change in temperature. If you start in 1850 then were warmer by 0.7C. From middle ages, were colder by 4C. From the times of the Vikings we have warming, and from times of Jesus we have cooling down. Cycles. Money also has cycles. In the past (i know of examples in the 70s) money was made on the fear of The New Ice Age, and today its the fear of Global Warming.

Sorry, but pretty much every scientific study disagrees with your view.

No need to be sorry, here you go an article from a reputable source citing a study from european researchers - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-8555871/Mediterranean-Sea-3-6-F-hotter-Roman-Empire-study-claims.html

You said it was a reputable source, but that's a Daily Fail link. No clicky.

A literal tabloid can't be called a "reputable source" with a straight face. If they link to a study, you should have just pasted the link to the study. Don't give tabloids your eyes.

Edit: seems they link to this: Persistent warm Mediterranean surface waters during the Roman period.
