Earth’s temperature was off the charts this year, and scientists just confirmed what much of planet already felt coming: 2023 will officially be the hottest year on record.
The analysis from the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service found this year’s global temperature will be more than 1.4 degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial levels — close to the 1.5-degree threshold in the Paris climate agreement, and beyond which scientists say humans and ecosystems will struggle to adapt.
Every month since June has been the hottest such month on record, and November piled on. The month was roughly 1.75 degrees warmer than pre-industrial levels, and two days soared beyond 2 degrees, worrying scientists about what this means for the planet in the coming years.
The report comes as delegates from more than 150 countries are in Dubai for COP28, the UN’s annual climate summit, where the discussion over whether to phase out planet-warming fossil fuels has been heated.
“The timing could not be more urgent,” Brenda Ekwurzel, director of climate science at the Union of Concerned Scientists, who is not involved with the report, told CNN.
“Wealthy and high-emitting countries, which have contributed the most to this record-breaking year,” she added, “have a greater responsibility to make a fair, fast and funded phase out of fossil fuels to help limit the increasing extreme weather and climate change impacts.”

I don’t believe their lies. My electric bill in August was 32% below 2022, and that is an indisputable fact.
Felt cooler than normal and a lot wetter
A separate report released Tuesday from the World Meteorological Organization found the decade between 2011 and 2020 was the hottest on record for the planet’s land and oceans as the rate of climate change “surged alarmingly” and “turbo charged” dramatic glacier loss and sea-level rise during this period.
“As long as greenhouse gas concentrations keep rising, we can’t expect different outcomes from those seen this year,” Copernicus Director Carlo Buontempo said. “The temperature will keep rising and so will the impacts of heatwaves and droughts.
Diana here: SW WI had an awesome growing season this past summer. Hardly any humidity and even though we were in drought conditions, our soybean and corn and alfalfa hay crops were better than average. I’ll take a dry year over a wet one, anytime. More, Please!
well, temps adjusted for inflation show no warming...
hehehe
This is an absolute lie in support of the never-ending global warming hoax. But it was predictable.
No way would “researchers” lie or manipulate the data. But I have to wonder.
Did EV fires or wind turbine fires cause the temperature jump? 🤔
Well, it’s official, the experts have spoken. No doubt will be allowed.
I bet some of you are going to eat a turkey, ham or beef sandwich for lunch.
Don’t you understand if you do this the earth will burst into flames?
Wouldn’t you rather have tofu salad?
It’s all my fault. I personally blew up the Tonga volcano.
Looking at the Environment Canada weather almanac for today and tomorrow, the warmest temperature for this day was back in 2001 at 16.1 Celsius and tomorrow was 15 Celsius back in 1951.
And the wettest conditions were back in 1972 and 1957 respectively.
Cooler here in Upstate for sure.
Same here in Oregon.
As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure the number of people on earth is the most in recorded history. So, you could make a reasonable argument that global warming is promoting humanity, and not destroying it.
Gee, throw us in that briar patch.
The West had the winter of ‘22-23, the highest snowfall in 80 years in the Sierras and the Wasatch.
No drought in all of California for now.
So where is this warming that they speak of?
Remember all the hysterical claims last summer that the ocean was “boiling,” citing unverified ocean temperature readings? Where, then were the back-to-back category 5 hurricanes that would have resulted if the claims were true?
Blame? How about a little credit there x-spurts? You are most welcome. Just doing our part to hold back the next ice age.
Every month since June. Gee what a surprise. According to NOAA, the current strong el nino condition began in…June.. And of course the huge dose of water vapor in the stratosphere from Hunga-Tonga began to settle into the troposphere, where weather happens… CO2 meanwhile continued to increase at its usual snail’s pace, not bothering anybody.
> Hottest temps on record” perhaps, but just by definition. <
And it’s more than that. Every measurement has an estimate of uncertainty attached to it, a +/- value. Such values can be calculated.
When measuring something like the temperature of the entire Earth, the estimate of uncertainty must be large, so large as to make the reported measurement useless.
Funny how we’re never given any +/- values in this matter.
