Even though some strongly deny it, the Earth is present in a very noticeable way. with the global warming crisis eye in eye. Hotter and longer summers than we have ever seen, winters that never come and extreme weather events that are increasing in frequency every day are the clearest indicators that our planet’s climate balance is deteriorating.

With an article shared yesterday, NASA confirmed that 2023 will be the hottest year on record. So much so that Earth’s average surface temperature was lower last year than it was in the period between 1951 and 1980. 1.2 degrees Celsius was higher. Since 1880, when we started measuring temperatures, the average temperature increase has reached 1.4 degrees Celsius.

Above average temperatures were observed in almost all parts of the world

According to NASA’s statement, global temperature records were recorded every month from June 2023 to December. If July 2023 hottest month of all time broken a record. Once again, according to NASA, five important reasons played a role in 2023 being the hottest year on record:

• Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere continue to increase
• El Niño-Southern Oscillation, which influences climate around the world
• Above normal sea surface temperatures as the oceans continue to warm
• Reduction of aerosols which slows down temperature rise
• Eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano
