This is a good explanation.

Look this up yourself with other sources though too. You'll want to fnd out how much ice coverage is left at the poles, how much we've lost this year so far, and the loss projection for if the next 5 years are as hot as 2023. Then look up what will happen to the earth with all the unreflected solar radiation we'll be absorbing without the ice caps.

Yup. And with all the wildfires releasing a shit ton of carbon into the atmosphere alongside all the shit released from industrial pollution, the next few years are very likely gonna be hot as fuck.
