    Because those all vary a lot over the course of years, so if you keep them in you can't tell how much of the change of global temperatures is going to stick around for decades or millennia. That persistent change is called "global warming".

    Back in the early 2010s people were saying global warming is fake because global temperatures hadn't gone up significantly in 15 years. This was the case because all those effects happened to result in temporary cooling. They were liars, but so would we be if we pretended El Niño was global warming.

    Could it be from block chains and data centers? No not possible we would burn the planet for uselessness.
