Here's an updated view of the 12-month running mean global temperature, which is a simple metric that provides insight on climate change and climate variability. I would expect this to begin increasing again later on in 2026/2027.

Line graph time series of a 12-month running mean of global mean surface temperature anomalies from 1979 through February 2026. There is a long-term increasing trend and large interannual variability on this graph. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1991-2020 baseline. Blue shading is shown for below average anomalies, and red shading is shown for above average anomalies.

And here's the number of temporary displaced people due to weather-related disasters.
While the time series is short and I also didn't bother to set it into relation of population growth,
the societally relevant impact of Zack's "Global Mean Anything" is palpable in the years with low numbers of displacements: These lower numbers are on the rise.

bar chart with numbers of internally displaced people from 2009 to 2024 due to weather-related disasters.
The low-incident years show the number of affected people to rise above the 15 million mark since 10 years or so, reaching 20 and 30mio people.
2024 and 2010 stand out with about 45million people internally displaced each.
I think, 2010 was dominated by a flood in China. Don't know what the main cause was in 2024.
