"Record-Breaking Warming: Earth Surpasses 1.5°C Limit for 12 Consecutive Months"

The European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) reported that January 2024 was the hottest January on record, continuing a trend of exceptional heat driven by climate change. This follows 2023 being the hottest year globally since 1850. The C3S Deputy Director emphasized the urgent need for rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to prevent further temperature increases. Despite the likelihood of the El Nino phenomenon weakening and potentially shifting to the cooler La Nina counterpart, global sea surface temperatures in January 2024 were the highest on record. While the world has exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial reference period, it has not yet breached the Paris Agreement target, prompting calls for accelerated action to limit the impact of climate change.

"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.

2023 Projected to Be Hottest Year in 125,000 Years, Say Scientists

European Union scientists have declared that this year is "virtually certain" to be the warmest in the past 125,000 years, with last month being the hottest October on record. The temperature anomaly in October was a significant 0.4 degrees Celsius higher than the previous record, attributed to ongoing greenhouse gas emissions and the emergence of the El Nino weather pattern. The global average surface air temperature in October was 1.7 degrees Celsius warmer than the pre-industrial period. The record-breaking October makes it highly likely that 2023 will be the warmest year ever recorded. Climate change is leading to increasingly destructive extreme weather events, emphasizing the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

"EU Climate Service Predicts 2023 to Break Heat Records as Hottest Year Yet"

The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service has reported that 2023 is on track to become the hottest year since at least 1940. The global average temperature for January-September was 0.52 degrees Celsius higher than the average of the climate change service's reference period from 1991-2020. This temperature is 1.4 degrees Celsius higher than the pre-industrial period. The warming El Nino event is still developing, which is expected to continue the record-breaking temperatures for months, with significant impacts on the environment and society. However, this increase does not mean the world is on the verge of crossing the long-term warming threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius set by the 2015 Paris accord.
