Last month was the hottest October on record globally as 2023is likely to be the warmest year in history.
Last month was the hottest October on record globally, Europe’s climate monitor said Wednesday, as months of exceptional heat are likely to make 2023 the warmest year in history.
Sea surface temperatures were the highest ever recorded for the month, a phenomenon driven by global warming that scientists say plays a key role in driving storms to be more ferocious and destructive. This year has also seen the beginning of a warming El Nino weather phenomenon, which warms waters in the southern Pacific and stokes hotter weather beyond.October was 1.7C warmer than an estimate of that month’s average for the pre-industrial era, Copernicus said.
Carbon emissions — largely from fossil fuels — continue to creep up when they need to be slashed in half this decade.
