2023 just misses the threshold of 1.5 degrees 2023 just misses the threshold of 1.5 degrees

According to the EU climate service Copernicus, last year it remained just below the 1.5 degree limit. Global temperatures were 1.48 degrees higher than the average over the years 1850 to 1900, as Copernicus announced on Tuesday

The global average temperature in 2023 was 14.98 degrees Celsius, according to Copernicus’ Global Climate Highlights 2023 report, published on Tuesday. It was 0.17 degrees higher than the previous record year of 2016. Copernicus had already announced in December that the year was the warmest since measurements began in 1850.

“It is likely that temperatures in 2023 will be warmer than in the past 100,000 years,” said Samantha Burgess, deputy director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). Climate researchers can indirectly reconstruct historical climate from tree rings or air bubbles in glaciers.

Switzerland, meanwhile, recorded its second warmest year since records began. In 2022 it was even warmer in this country. (sda/dpa)
