Copernicus:«2023 is the hottest year ever recorded on Earth»

The Copernicus announcement and the November record

After an extraordinary November for temperatures, 2023 is set to become the hottest year in the history of the Earth.This was announced by the European Copernicus service.With an average surface temperature of 14.22 degrees Celsius, the month exceeded the November 2020 record by 0.32 degrees.And it is also 1.75 degrees warmer than the average for the period 1850-1900, i.e. the pre-industrial era.The boreal autumn in the Northern Hemisphere is therefore the warmest in history because it reaches 0.88 degrees centigrade above average.«2023 now has six months and two record-breaking seasons.This extraordinary November means that 2023 will be the hottest year ever recorded in recorded history,” said Samantha Burgess, deputy head of the Copernicus Climate Change Bureau.Which he already had announced the possible record of the current year right at the beginning of November.“As long as greenhouse gas concentrations continue to increase, we cannot expect different results from those seen this year,” said C3S director Carlo Buontempo.«Temperature will continue to rise, as will the effects of heat waves and droughts.Reaching net zero as soon as possible is an effective way to manage our climate risks."
