2023 hottest year on record as Earth nears critical 1.5C limit: monitor
Earth shattered global annual heat records in 2023, reaching 1.48 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial times and approaching the 1.5-degree threshold set in the Paris climate accord. Copernicus, the European climate agency, confirmed these findings, stating that the year was exceptionally warm for over half the year. The main driver of this warming is the increasing amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, along with other factors such as El Nino and increased solar activity.
