A number of climate records have been made in 2023, presenting a harrowing warning of the destructiveness of climate change

Scientists are wondering if global warming and El Nino have an accomplice in fueling this summer’s record-shattering heat

Cleaner fuel on cargo ships, an underwater volcano and African dust might explain a sudden spike in Earth's temperature, or not.

Scientists are wondering if global warming and El Nino have an accomplice in fueling this summer’s record-shattering heat.

Scientists are wondering if global warming and El Nino have an accomplice in fueling this summers record-shattering heat.

The average global temperature in July was around 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than the pre-industrial era that ended in the mid-to-late 1800s, new report shows.

Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Yesterday, Anthony Watts posted a most interesting discussion of the Hunga-Tonga volcano, entitled "Record Global Temperatures Driven by Hunga-Tonga Volcanic Water Vapor – Visualized". I found some curiosities worth discussing in the post. First was the delay between "cause" and "effect". Here's Ryan Maue's graph showing the conundrum: Figure 1.

The worlds oceans are experiencing the hottest temperatures in modern history, causing widespread devastation to coral reefs and other marine ecosystems. In July, the average temperature at sea reached a record high even beyond that of El Ninos impact, indicating that human-driven climate change is the root cause for the trend.

The extreme heat is devastating Florida’s coral reefs, but high ocean temperatures can have more widespread impacts, too, disrupting other marine ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.

The average global sea surface temperature reached a new high of 69.728 degrees Fahrenheit in July, and could have serious implications.
