We had fun with a big temperature spike. A narrow spike has no energy, and drops as fast as it rose. Lots of press with that. This was caused by the Big Red Spot in the Pacific Ocean, and that is fading away like a treated zit. That was one of the smallest localized heating events since 2016. There have been a lot of them and the total world effect is dependent on their surface area.
I have a mechanism for them, but, as usual, it is a hypothesis that needs actual physics measurements. Nothing of that sort expected in the future, as long as the story-tellers dominate. Who needs physics, when they have a cool, hindsight explanation for everything.
I enjoy reading this sort of thing, where people come up with a 'solution' with no physics at all. Just throw money at them, they have a good story.
And we are getting more articles on this, as it is becoming popular with the cold coming down on us. It was big in the 70's, with lots of physics, and then it stopped. These new articles just 'explain' with no meat. The standard way to do 'science' now is to make an observation, then explain, and linearly extrapolate. This was the way with Aristotle, and the Church before the Reformation. I admit that I am stuck in the 70's, when we have such great things as social media these days. :(
