The year 2023 has been confirmed as the hottest year on record by a huge margin, with multiple agencies reporting astonishing global temperature averages. Europe's top climate agency announced the record-breaking temperatures, which were also supported by data indicating that ocean temperatures were the highest on record. The EU climate watchdog highlighted that these temperatures were very likely the highest in 100,000 years. Scientists have noted that the oceans have been consistently hotter each year over the past decade, and 2023 marked the first time that every day of a year exceeded 1°C above pre-industrial levels. The global surface temperature for 2023 was 2.12°F (1.18°C) above average, and the year was 1.54 ± 0.06 °C (2.77 ± 0.11 °F) above the 1850-1900 average, the first year to surpass the 1.5 °C threshold. The trend of rising temperatures is clear and is attributed to human activities such as the release of greenhouse gases. However, natural climate cycles like El Niño also contributed to the increase in 2023 and are expected to make 2024 potentially even hotter. Scientists are alarmed by the mysterious new processes that may be underway, as the scorching temperatures of 2023 hint at some unexpected climate patterns. The scientific community and policymakers are calling for urgent action to address the escalating climate crisis.
