2023, the warmest year ever recorded. The year 2024 could surpass a dangerous threshold for humanity
2023 was the warmest year ever recorded. This is also stated by researchers from Copernicus, the European Union program that monitors the state of the planet.
According to them, the global average temperature has increased by almost one and a half degrees. The cause is attributed to both climate change and the El Niño phenomenon, which leads to the warming of the surface waters in the eastern and central Pacific Ocean.
