In Graphics | Why 2023 was the hottest year on record
Firstpost2023 was the warmest calendar year in global temperature data records dating back to 1850, according to a report released on Tuesday by the European Climate Agency. Earth broke all previous records for annual heat, verged on the global warming threshold, and displayed additional symptoms of a feverish planet last year, the report said. January 2024 is also on track to be so warm that, for the first time, a 12-month period will exceed the 1.5 degree threshold, Copernicus Deputy Director Samantha Burgess said, according to The Associated Press. The 1.5 degree goal “has to be alive because lives are at risk and choices have to be made,” Burgess said, adding, “And these choices don’t impact you and I but they impact our children and our grandchildren.” But why was 2023 the hottest year?
