2023 on track to shatter heat records: EU scientists

Buckle up and hold onto your hats. European Union scientists predict 2023 will break records to become the hottest year in history, surpassing the record in 2016 and exceeding pre-industrial levels by 1.43°Celsius.

October 2023 alone saw a jaw-dropping 1.7°Celsius spike in global temperatures, thanks to the ongoing greenhouse gas emissions and an active El Nino.

EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) warns of drought in the US and Mexico, along with extreme wet conditions and record-high sea surface temperatures worldwide.

The Paris Agreement’s goals of limiting warming to 1.5-2°C are in jeopardy as carbon emissions hit a record high in 2022, demanding immediate, decisive measures.
