# Temperature Anomaly Since 1945 and Atmospheric Forcings The indexed EngineHouse sources contain limited direct evidence on temperature anomalies since 1945 specifically. The dataset records provide monthly land-ocean temperature anomalies from 1945, showing small fluctuations around baseline (ranging from −0.092°C to +0.18°C across the year). However, the sources do not provide a coherent narrative of the long-term anomaly trajectory from 1945 to present, nor do they contain systematic analys…

Atmospheric CO2 persistence means thermal inertia continues even if emissions plateau.
