The last 12 months were the hottest on record, temporarily sending the world past a deeply symbolic mark.

For the first time, world temperature has exceeded 1.5C across an entire year, reports the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), European Union's climate

For the first time on record, the average global temperature has exceeded 1.5°C over 12 months, according to Copernicus Climate Change Service

With devastating extreme heat and storms and floods, 2023 was the first year 1.5°C warmer than the 1850-1900 baseline, and both Antarctic sea-ice loss and record northern hemisphere sea-surface temperatures were way beyond the ranges projected by climate models.

For climate scientists, in dispute are global historical sea surface temperatures from the 19th century.

Dermatologists have sounded the alarm about the surge in melanoma cases, a dangerous form of skin cancer, gripping South Africa.

Our climate has crossed the "dangerous" 1.5 degrees Celsius warming threshold generations ahead of projections.

Berkeley Earth’s global temperature report for 2023 revealed it to be the hottest year on record since 1850.

Contrary to CNN's reporting, the unscientific 1.5 deg. C 'target' was reached years ago and clearly visible in real-world data.
