2023 was the warmest year on earth since 1850, says EU’s climate change agency

Hindustan Times  

New Delhi: Last year was the warmest calendar year in global temperature data records going back to 1850, Copernicus Climate Change Service said on Tuesday. These record temperatures strongly increased the intensity of heatwaves, droughts and extreme rainfall associated with storms like Otis and Daniel, said XAIDA, a consortium of leading European climate institutes. If we want to successfully manage our climate risk portfolio, we need to urgently decarbonise our economy whilst using climate data and knowledge to prepare for the future.” These record temperatures strongly increased the intensity of heatwaves, droughts and extreme rainfall associated with storms like Otis and Daniel, said XAIDA, a consortium of leading European climate institutes. Fischer and colleagues studied heatwaves over France in thousands of climate model realisations and found that heat waves much warmer than presently observed are possible “Heat stress associated with such worst-case heat waves present risks for large public events in cities, like the upcoming 2024 Olympic Games in Paris which are organized at the height of the summer season” said Pascal Yiou, vice-coordinator of XAIDA and Senior Researcher at CNRS in Paris.
