Global temperatures have an impact all year round
Global temperatures also have an impact throughout the year. “We can say with some certainty that 2023 will be the warmest year on record, currently 1.43 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial average,” Samantha Burgess, deputy director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), told Blick for the first ten months.
“There were extraordinary temperature anomalies in October 2023, after four months of breaking global temperature records,” Burgess said. With a view to the upcoming climate conference in Dubai, she emphasized: “The urgency of ambitious climate action for COP28 has never been greater than it is today.”
