"2023: The Hottest Year on Record Confirmed by Scientists and UN"

Earth has set a new monthly record for heat for the sixth consecutive month, making 2023 on track to become the hottest year on record. November was nearly a third of a degree Celsius hotter than the previous hottest November, and the autumn season was also the hottest on record. The planet is currently 1.46 degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial times, close to the international threshold set by the Paris climate agreement. Scientists attribute the record-breaking heat to human-caused climate change and the El Nino-La Nina cycle. Without reducing greenhouse gas emissions, catastrophic floods, fires, heatwaves, and droughts will continue to worsen.
