A series of climate records on temperature, ocean heat, and Antarctic sea ice have alarmed some scientists who say their speed and timing is unprecedented.
Dangerous heatwaves in Europe could break further records, the UN says.
It is hard to immediately link these events to climate change because weather - and oceans - are so complex.
Studies are under way, but scientists already fear some worst-case scenarios are unfolding.
"I'm not aware of a similar period when all parts of the climate system were in record-breaking or abnormal territory," Thomas Smith, an environmental geographer at London School of Economics, says.
"The Earth is in uncharted territory" now due to global warming from burning fossil fuels, as well as heat from the first El Niño - a warming natural weather system - since 2018, says Imperial College London climate science lecturer Dr Paulo Ceppi.
We can certainly expect more and more of these records to break as the year goes on and we enter 2024, scientists say.
But it would be wrong to call what is happening a "climate collapse" or "runaway warming", cautions Dr Otto.
We are in a new era, but "we still have time to secure a liveable future for many", she explains.

Bull Cheat!
Anthropogenic climate disaster is a lie, and its adherents are zealots caught up in a false religion.
Goebbels would be proud.
Those “records” are lies anyway.
Remember the emails among climate “experts” when the data did not match the computer projections, and their fudging the facts?
Let’s assume, for just a second, that we are in uncharted territory.
What changed?
Well, for one thing, methane - natural gas, is a far more potent greenhouse gas than the essential plant nutrient carbon dioxide.
Suppose, hypothetically, someone were to figure out how to release a MASSIVE quantity of methane into the atmosphere. Say by blowing up a pipeline delivering methane to an entire continent, in such a way as to keep it from burning and turning into beneficial CO₂, by planning the breaching explosion underwater.
Who would be dumb enough to threaten to do this and then do it?
Nobel Laureate Silenced
“ Dr. Clauser… I don’t believe there is a climate crisis” and expressed his belief that “key processes are exaggerated and misunderstood by approximately 200 times.”

“I’m not aware of a similar period when all parts of the climate system were in record-breaking or abnormal territory,”
Has this been one of the hottest and driest years in history?
BS. This has been one of the coolest and wettest spring and summers I can ever remember in the Ozarks. Only 1973 and 1974 were wetter.
And I’ve been here since 1956.
In 2013 and 2015 visited my old home in Gladstone NM from 1946-1951. For the first time in history I saw the High Plains green!
It had always been in drought when I visited before.
“Tomorrow” is always abnormal territory because it has not happened yet.
The environmentally-ill prove how ill they are, once again
They are burning down the forests in order to created these weather patterns. We already know that clear cutting major forests turns climates into deserts. Burning them is no better. And yet no seems to be able to figure out what is happening. Everyone is so gullible.
Please just let us know when we have truly passes the point of no return. I relish that day
UUUUUHHHHH cuz it’s hot in the summer?
Reliable? As in non-fudged? Remember a few years back when emails among "Climate" people were uncovered, discussing how they had to "adjust" data that didn't conform with the computer projections?
The North Pole is in the Arctic Ocean, so no settlement signs will be found there. And South Pole settlements are mostly documented scientific expeditions and old whaling stations.
