Earth's fever persisted last year, not quite spiking to a record high but still in the top five or six warmest on record, US government agencies reported Thursday.climate changeDespite a La Nina, a cooling of the equatorial Pacific that slightly reduces global average temperatures, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration calculates 2022's global average temperature was 14.76°C, ranking sixth hottest on record.
Another group, whose satellite-based calculations tend to run cooler than other science teams, said it was the seventh hottest year. "The last eight years have clearly been warmer than the years before," said NOAA analysis branch chief Russ Vose. The likelihood of the world shooting past the 1.5°C warming threshold that the world adopted in 2015 is increasing with every year, said the World Meteorological Organisation.
"Since the mid-1970s you've seen this relentless increase in temperature and that's totally robust to all the different methodologies," Schmidt said. "Historically, we could rely on La Nina turning down the global thermostat. Now, heat-trapping gases are keeping the temperature cranked up, and handing us another top-10 warmest year on record."
Scientists say about 90 per cent of the heat trapped by greenhouse gases goes into the upper 6,561 feet of the ocean, and figures released Wednesday show 2022 was another record year for ocean heat.
