I'll repost the pertinent points in my post for you:


The year 2022 was the sixth warmest year since global records began in 1880 at 0.86°C (1.55°F) above the 20th century average of 13.9°C (57.0°F). This value is 0.13°C (0.23°F) less than the record set in 2016 and it is only 0.02°C (0.04°F) higher than the last year's (2021) value, which now ranks as the seventh highest. The 10 warmest years in the 143-year record have all occurred since 2010, with the last nine years (2014–2022) ranking as the nine warmest years on record. Of note, the year 2005, which was the first year to set a new global temperature record in the 21st century, currently ties with 2013 as the 11th-warmest year on record. The year 2010, which had surpassed 2005 at the time, now ranks as the 10th-warmest year on record.


I don't know how you interpret the statement that "... the last nine years (2014–2022) ranking as the nine warmest years on record."



The last 8 years is definitely part of the last 10 years, and 2016 set the record high global temoperature and is definitely included in the last 8 years.


FYI, historic CO2 levels:





And Global temperatures showing increased temperatures with increased atmospheric CO2:



 


The correlation is obvious even if the cause is not definitely established as anthropomorphic. Whether or not that is so, it is still wise to be cautious and minimize the potential issue that humanity is the cause of increased CO2, etc. Analogy: you come upon an unknown pistol, so you treat it as if it was loaded until you know otherwise. We have not firmly established that the increased atmospheric CO2 is all man-made, but the effect is pretty clear and humanity is definitely contributing to the increase.
