The latest calculations from several science agencies showing Earth obliterated global heat records last year may seem scary. But scientists worry that what’s behind those numbers could be even worse.
The Associated Press asked more than three dozen scientists in interviews and emails what the smashed records mean. Most said they fear acceleration of climate change that is already right at the edge of the 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) increase since pre-industrial times that nations had hoped to stay within.
“The heat over the last calendar year was a dramatic message from Mother Nature,” said University of Arizona climate scientist Katharine Jacobs. Scientists say warming air and water is making deadly and costly heat waves, floods, droughts, storms and wildfires more intense and more likely.

Not so warm here today in central Kansas. Low tonight -11 with a -35 wind chill.
Here today in central Kansas it’s 13 degrees. Two days from now a low of -12. Not so warm here.
2023 was average where I live. 2019 was hotter for longer. The trend is down.
Will this help????

I have ten-twelve inches of “global warming” on the ground here, and it’s currently -20C.
It was so cold (-33) this morning my car’s dashboard LCD display did not work, at least until it ‘warmed up’ to -21. We are in line for another week of this lovely weather.
The car is *NOT* liking this cold snap. At all.
Are you enjoying this record shattering heat?
