2023 will be the hottest year on record. The confirmation came from the Copernicus service, the EU’s Earth Observation Programme, after November became the sixth month in a row with record temperatures, including two days with temperatures two degrees above pre-industrial levels. Last month, the global average temperature was 14.22°C, 0.32°C higher than the previous record set in 2020. November was also 1.75°C warmer than the average November temperature for the period 1850-1900, consistent with the Industrial Age. “As long as greenhouse gas concentrations continue to rise, we should not expect any different results. Temperatures will continue to rise,” warns Copernicus director Carlo Buontempo. The warning was issued at the 28th UN Climate Change Summit (COP28), held in Dubai. According to Wopke Hoekstra, Europe’s climate change commissioner, the summit should mark the beginning of “the end of fossil fuels.”
