The year 2023 has been confirmed as the hottest year on record, with a global average temperature of 14.98 degrees Celsius, surpassing the previous record set in 2016. Human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, have contributed significantly to the increase in temperatures. In 2023, every single day exceeded 1 degree Celsius above pre-industrial levels and nearly half of those days were more than 1.5 degrees warmer. The year also saw unprecedented ocean temperatures and an increase in extreme weather events. Experts predict that 2024 could be even hotter, potentially exceeding the 1.5 degree Celsius threshold.
