welcome back. scientists have confirmed today that 2023 was the hottest on record. not only was the average temperature hotter than any year since 1850, but each month from june to december was hotter than its equivalent in any previous year. overall, it leaves the global average temperature at 1.48 degrees higher than pre industrial times, and that is perilously close to the one and a half degree limit the world set itself to avoid the worst effects of global warming, some of which have already been felt. it should be said that some of these temperature rises will be attributed to the phenomenon known as el nino, where the warmer surface waters in the east pacific ocean release additional heat into the atmosphere. what we don t know is what the global temperatures will look like when that el nino effect comes to an end. let s speak to simon gosling, professor of climate risks at the university of nottingham.
