Taking into account all known factors, the planet warmed 0.2 °C more last year than climate scientists expected. More and better data are urgently needed.
We need answers for why 2023 turned out to be the warmest year in possibly the past 100,000 years. And we need them quickly.
This is fine.
I am starting to wonder if those tipping points everyone was talking about 10 years ago are starting to get hit.
All of them - ocean temp, ocean salinity, ocean’s ability to absorb CO2, air temp… and # of species disappearing, especially insect.
