That is inherently a hypothesis - at least in my book. YMMV. But I’m afraid we will have to agree to differ on this one, buddy.
So you're saying because the temperature increase is small, you no longer consider it an increase. That's absolutely ridiculous, unless you also consider evolution to be a hypothesis
