I can't answer for the rest of it, but I think I can help with the unusually warm weather. Could it be all the extra stuff the sun is throwing at us lately? Our closest star has been rather active this year. My evidence doesn't rely on any scientific data I can't verify. It is personal observation. I lived in South Central Alaska for almost 30 years before moving to the Kansas City Area. (Yup, I'm nuttier than a fruitcake. That move proves it.) While living and working in Alaska I would drive to work every winter morning in the very dark. Most mornings I could look up and see the Northern Lights dancing in the sky in spite of the light pollution of Anchorage. I know what the Northern Lights look like. I spent my first 24 years in the KC Area and we moved back 6 years ago. In the time I lived here I had never seen the Northern Lights once. And I did a lot of star gazing. This summer I have seen the Northern Lights 3 times from my front porch. This is in the city with light pollution galore. Again, I know what the Northern Lights look like. The Northern Lights only get this far South when there is much higher than normal radiation arriving from the sun. It is hot because the sun is sending us more energy. About the rest of it? That is some interesting reading. Oh, and they want us dead.
Don't forget the January 15, 2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai (yes, I looked it up. No way I'm spelling that one from memory!) which blew an estimated 58,000 Olympic swimming pool equivalents into the atmosphere. The pictures from space are amazing!
That's an insane amount of hot water! Thankfully, that volcano was 1/2 mile below the surface of the ocean, or we might be dealing with major crop failures and global cooling ala the 1816 "Year without a Summer".
