2023 declared hottest year on record as UN slams climate inaction
The temperature record was confirmed as a UN official condemned ‘posturing’ at COP28 climate summit. Europe’s climate monitor has declared that 2023 will be the hottest year on record, as a United Nations official used the COP28 climate summit to slam inaction. The European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service confirmed on Wednesday that the current year will be the “warmest” globally since records began in the middle of the 19th century. “The extraordinary global November temperatures, including two days warmer than 2C above pre-industrial, mean that 2023 is the warmest year in recorded history,” Samantha Burgess, deputy head of C3S, said in a statement. Last month smashed the previous November heat record, pushing 2023’s global average temperature to 1.46 degrees Celsius warmer than the pre-industrial era, the service said.
