"2023 “smashed” the record for the hottest year by a huge margin, providing
“dramatic testimony” of how much warmer and more dangerous today’s climate is
from the cooler one in which human civilisation developed.
The planet was 1.48C hotter in 2023 compared with the period before the mass
burning of fossil fuels ignited the climate crisis. The figure is very close to
the 1.5C temperature target set by countries in Paris in 2015, although the
global temperature would need to be consistently above 1.5C for the target to
be considered broken.
Scientists at the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (CCCS) said it was
likely the 1.5C mark will be passed for the first time in the next 12 months."
