How has climate data changed since Al Gore's documentary 'An Inconvenient Truth' was released?

Since Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth', climate data has shown a significant shift in temperature records. While Gore noted that the top 10 warmest years on record were in the 14 years before his documentary, now none of those years remain in the top 10. Today, the most recent years are the hottest on record, with oceans warming at unprecedented levels in the last couple of years. This ocean warming has direct consequences for hurricane behavior, particularly aiding rapid intensification. New tools like the Climate Shift Index now help scientists link human-caused climate factors to extreme weather events. These developments confirm Gore's core message about warming oceans while showing how climate science has advanced with more precise measurement tools and understanding.
