Ok so apparently it is an article, not a bulletpoint of the other article as the ui would suggest. According to the article, some model made a while ago predicts we should only be at 1.3% warming this year and not 1.5%. That missing 0.2% is whats the mistery, so kind of misleading headline, especially if you put it in a place that doesn’t make it look like an article at all. I only found out because I accidentally clicked on it.

The article (npr.org)

    Maybe they wrote the headline that way under the assumption that climate-change deniers wouldn’t read past it (?)

    Of course, here’s the bottom line:

    Climate models suggest Earth should have heated up about 1.3 C by now, because of fossil fuel burning and other human-driven disruptions to the planet.

    Beyond this, they’re just zeroing in on variables such as volcanoes, weather patterns, ship emissions, clouds, etc. So that is apparently what the somewhat misleading headline characterizes as a “mystery”.
