Copernicus Climate Change Service reported that 2023 is the hottest year on record, with global temperatures close to the 1.5°C limit. 2023 was 1.48°C warmer than the 1850-1900 pre-industrial level. A 12-month period ending in January or February 2024 will likely exceed 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level. 2023 marks the first time on record that every day within a year has exceeded 1°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial level.
In a related story, Copernicus announced that April was the hottest on record at 1.61C above pre-industrial levels. It is the 11th straight record-breaking month, and likely pushed us over the 1.5C limit. Looks like we are well and truly f%&£$d.
