On November 19th and 20th, 2023, the global average temperature briefly exceeded 2 degrees Celsius above the preindustrial average, marking a significant milestone in climate change. This event is the first known two-day period to do so since at least the start of instrument records. The data, including a nearly unprecedented global temperature anomaly, suggests a rapid increase in the impact of climate change. The southern hemisphere is facing extreme weather patterns due to climate change amplifying the effects of natural climate variability. This milestone has raised concerns among climate scientists, with some describing it as a 'five-alarm fire' and emphasizing the early arrival of the +2.0°C threshold.
