Multiple sources, including Europe's top climate agency and NOAA, confirm that 2023 has set a new record as the hottest year in recorded history, with temperatures reaching 1.54°C above the 1850-1900 average and 2.12°F above the 20th-century average. The year was 0.08°C warmer than the previous record set in 2016, and temperatures were 'very likely' the highest in 100,000 years, according to an EU climate watchdog. This is part of a decades-long trend of rapid warming primarily caused by carbon pollution, as highlighted in NASA's records dating back to 1880. The consequences of global heating, such as wildfires, hurricanes, and vanishing sea ice, are becoming increasingly evident. The data has prompted calls for urgent government action to tackle the climate crisis, with some pointing to the need for meaningful legislation and a continuation of efforts like those initiated by the Inflation Reduction Act. Amidst these developments, there are warnings that 2024 could be even hotter, with the UN suggesting a one-in-three chance of surpassing the record set by 2023, potentially exacerbated by El Niño. These findings underscore the urgency of addressing the climate crisis as highlighted in NOAA's 1850-2023 climate record.
2023 was the hottest year on record. Records will keep breaking each year unless we act NOW. We cannot afford to wait on climate action.
