"Bad climate news was everywhere in 2023.
It’s been the hottest year on record, with January through November clocking in
at 1.46 °C (2.62 °F) warmer on average than preindustrial temperatures.
Meanwhile, emissions from fossil fuels hit a new high—36.8 billion metric tons
of carbon dioxide, 1.1% more than in 2022.
Scientists are loudly warning that the world is running out of time to avoid
dangerous warming levels. The picture is grim. But if you know where to look,
there are a few bright spots shining through the darkness.
New technologies that can help address climate change, from heat pumps to solar
panels to EVs, are coming to the market and getting cheaper. Climate policy is
also developing, from incentives to support new technology to rule-making
around pollution. And efforts to help the most vulnerable nations adapt to
climate change are growing.
Here are a few of those bright spots that our climate reporters saw in 2023."
