Except CERES data indicates aerosol forcing had little to do with it.
The SST warming wasn’t even focused in the areas where the reduction in aerosols occurred..the NPAC warm blob is the smallest it’s been in a decade, and the ATL warming is focused in the tropics, not the extratropical waters.
And that was with El Niño doing its best to keep that heat out of the lower-48.
This summer there’s nothing to stop things from going the way of the 1930s. I don’t see a way out.
