The EU climate change service Copernicus, in the midst of climate negotiations on CAP28, announced that 2023 will be the hottest year in the world since records began in the mid-19th century.

Current the year will be the warmest in the entire world since record keeping began in the mid-19th century. About this reports UNN with reference to information from The Climate Change Service Copernicus (C3s) of the European Union.

2023 had six record months and two record seasons. Extreme global November temperatures, including two days that were 2ºC warmer than pre-industrial temperatures, mean that 2023 is the warmest year on record

- says Samantha Burgess, deputy director of the Copernicus service.

The warmest year so far has been 2016. It should be noted, that according to preliminary calculations, it was assumed that 2023 will be the peak year global average temperatures. At the same time, in mid-November, the American climate agency NOAA said: the probability that the year will be the warmest since In 1850, it is more than 99 percent.

On average with a global temperature of 14.22°c, November 2023 was 0.32°C warmer than the previous record was set in November 2020. It is also indicated that the past the moon was 1.75°C warmer than the average November in the period 1850-1900, and so this corresponds to the pre-industrial era.

Global level carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions affect the changing climate of the planet.

As long as greenhouse gas concentrations continue to rise, we cannot expect results other than those seen this year. Temperatures will continue to rise, as Will the effects of heat and drought

- said C3s director Carlo Buontempo. 

The day before in Tuesday, The Global Carbon Budget report showed that global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas continue to grow grow up. It is expected that in 2023 they will reach a record level of 36.8 a billion tons a year. This is 1.1% more than in 2022, and 1.4% more than in 2022. in 2019.
