NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said in a joint statement that 2023 was the warmest year on record for land and oceans.
According to the institute’s data, the average temperature in 2023 was 58.96 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 2.12 degrees above the 20th century global average temperature. It is also 0.27 degrees higher than the 2016 record.
Experts say that the dangers have increased due to heat. These risks include the following factors:
There is a risk of drought due to heat
There is a risk of natural disasters due to climate change
Sea level rise, which can threaten coastal areas
Forest fires, which can be hazardous to health and the environment
NOAA chief Richard Stern said the speed of climate change due to warming is staggering. We need to act now so that we can secure a habitable planet for future generations.
“We’re seeing a continuous string of warmest years,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nullson. This is clear evidence that human activities are changing the Earth’s climate.
