The European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) stated that 2023 has actually ended up being the most popular year on record, most likely going beyond temperature levels seen in the last 100,000 years.
The C3S Director, Carlo Buontempo, verified this information, going back to 1850, suggesting that the worldwide average temperature level in 2023 was 1.48 degrees Celsius warmer than the pre-industrial duration (1850-1900).
Regardless of the objective set by the 2015 Paris Agreement to restrict worldwide warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, 2023 saw temperature levels surpassing this limit on nearly half of the days, raising considerable issues.
Regardless of environment targets, CO2 emissions reached record levels in 2023, marking the greatest CO2 concentration and the very first year with every day exceeding 1 degree Celsius hotter than pre-industrial times.
