In 2023, Earth experienced its highest average surface temperature on record, based on an analysis by NASA.
According to scientists from NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York, global temperatures last year surpassed the average for NASA’s baseline period (1951-1980) by approximately 2.1 degrees Fahrenheit (1.2 degrees Celsius).
This alarming trend emphasizes the urgency for concerted global action on climate change.
The data presents a sobering reality, highlighting the escalating impact of climate change on our planet.
Such unprecedented warming poses significant threats to ecosystems, weather patterns, and human livelihoods.
It underscores the critical importance of implementing sustainable policies and technologies to mitigate and adapt to these changes.
Moreover, the 2023 temperature milestone serves as a clarion call for governments, industries, and individuals to reevaluate their environmental impact and commit to meaningful action.
