Soaring temperatures. Unusually hot oceans. Record high levels of carbon pollution in the atmosphere and record low Antarctic ice. We’re only halfway through 2023 and so many climate records are being broken.

This is just a guess of mine, I don't know any data for it, so take it with a big grain of salt:

I can imagine that it is in each big greenhouse gas emitter's interest to state a lower estimate for how much GHG are released. Also many plants are reported of leaking gas.

So the data scientist use may not be the complete list of emissions.

Maybe.
