Global temperatures last year were around 2.1 degrees Fahrenheit (1.2 degrees Celsius) above the average for NASA’s baseline period (1951-1980), scientists from NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNASA and NOAA\u2019s global temperature report confirms what billions of people around the world experienced last year; we are facing a climate crisis,\u201d said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. \u201cFrom extreme heat, to wildfires, to rising sea levels, we can see our Earth is changing. There\u2019s still more work to be done, but President Biden and communities across America are taking more action than ever to reduce climate risks and help communities become more resilient \u2013 and NASA will continue to use our vantage point of space to bring critical climate data back down to Earth that is understandable and accessible for all people. NASA and the Biden-Harris Administration are working to protect our home planet and its people, for this generation \u2013 and the next.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, hundreds of millions of people around the world experienced extreme heat, and each month from June through December set a global record for the respective month. July was the <a href=\"https:\/\/climate.nasa.gov\/news\/3279\/nasa-clocks-july-2023-as-hottest-month-on-record-ever-since-1880\/\" rel=\"noopener\">hottest month ever recorded<\/a>. Overall, Earth was about 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit (or about 1.4 degrees Celsius) warmer in 2023 than the late 19th-century average, when modern record-keeping began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2023 Was the Hottest Year on Record\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1bv6zIpmWpY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">2023 was Earth\u2019s warmest year since modern record-keeping began around 1880, and the past 10 consecutive years have been the warmest 10 on record. How did NASA, a space agency, come to look at Earth\u2019s temperature on the ground? And how do we measure global temperature? <br>Credit: NASA\/Kathleen Gaeta<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe exceptional warming that we\u2019re experiencing is not something we\u2019ve seen before in human history,\u201d said Gavin Schmidt, director of GISS. \u201cIt\u2019s driven primarily by our fossil fuel emissions, and we’re seeing the impacts in heat waves, intense rainfall, and coastal flooding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though scientists have conclusive evidence that the planet\u2019s long-term warming trend is driven by human activity, they still examine other phenomena that can affect yearly or multi-year changes in climate such as El Ni\u00f1o, aerosols and pollution, and volcanic eruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, the largest source of year-to-year variability is the El Ni\u00f1o \u2013 Southern Oscillation ocean climate pattern in the Pacific Ocean. The pattern has two phases \u2013 El Ni\u00f1o and La Ni\u00f1a \u2013 when sea surface temperatures along the equator switch between warmer, average, and cooler temperatures. From 2020-2022, the Pacific Ocean saw three consecutive La Ni\u00f1a events, which tend to cool global temperatures. In May 2023, the ocean transitioned from La Ni\u00f1a to El Ni\u00f1o, which often coincides with the hottest years on record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the record temperatures in the second half of 2023 occurred before the peak of the current El Ni\u00f1o event. Scientists expect to see the biggest impacts of El Ni\u00f1o in February, March, and April.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/curves-2023.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/curves-2023.gif?w=1920\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"Line graph with monthly temperature anomalies from each year from 1880 to 2023 growing across the graph to create a stacked bell shape.

A <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1029\/2023GL104634\" rel=\"noopener\">recent study<\/a> found that the volcanic aerosols \u2013 by reflecting sunlight away from Earth\u2019s surface \u2013 led to an overall slight cooling of less than 0.2 degrees Fahrenheit (or about 0.1 degrees Celsius) in the Southern Hemisphere following the eruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEven with occasional cooling factors like volcanoes or aerosols, we will continue to break records as long as greenhouse gas emissions keep going up,\u201d Schmidt said. \u201cAnd, unfortunately, we just set a new record for greenhouse gas emissions again this past year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe record-setting year of 2023 underscores the significance of urgent and continued actions to address climate change,\u201d said NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy. \u201cRecent legislation has delivered the U.S. government’s largest-ever climate investment, including billions to strengthen America\u2019s resilience to the increasing impacts of the climate crisis. As an agency focused on studying our changing climate, NASA\u2019s fleet of Earth observing satellites will continue to provide critical data of our home planet at scale to help all people make informed decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Open Science in Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASA assembles its temperature record using surface air temperature data collected from tens of thousands of meteorological stations, as well as sea surface temperature data acquired by ship- and buoy-based instruments. This data is analyzed using methods that account for the varied spacing of temperature stations around the globe and for urban heating effects that could skew the calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Independent analyses by NOAA and the Hadley Centre (part of the United Kingdom Met Office) concluded the global surface temperatures for 2023 were the highest since modern record-keeping began. These scientists use much of the same temperature data in their analyses but use different methodologies. Although rankings can differ slightly between the records, they are in broad agreement and show the same ongoing long-term warming in recent decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on a half century of research, observations, and models, the Biden-Harris Administration including NASA and several federal partners recently launched the <a href=\"https:\/\/gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fearth.gov%2Fghgcenter&data=05%7C01%7Cjennifer.m.dooren%40nasa.gov%7Cb56eccad8d4d44b9778708dbf4b9641b%7C7005d45845be48ae8140d43da96dd17b%7C0%7C0%7C638372850148440468%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=lxw%2BC7b8FO6i7I6D1yJ7hCLYMPTfZ2WVUIREA5xUWmA%3D&reserved=0\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Greenhouse Gas Center<\/a> to make critical climate data readily available to decisionmakers and citizens.

The map uses color to represent anomalies, ranging from blue for below average temperatures, white for temperatures at baseline, and yellows ranging through oranges and reds to represent higher and higher than average temperatures. At the beginning of the time series, the map is primarily blues and whites, with a few spots of yellow, indicating that temperatures overall are below the baseline. As time progresses, the colors shift and move, with less and less blue and white and more and more yellow, then orange, and red. By 2023, the map is mostly yellow with lots of orange and red. The Arctic region, Europe, Asia, North America, central South America, and the Antarctic peninsula are all dark red, indicating the highest temperature anomalies.","caption":"This map of Earth in 2023 shows global surface temperature anomalies, or how much warmer or cooler each region of the planet was compared to the average from 1951 to 1980. Normal temperatures are shown in white, higher-than-normal temperatures in red and orange, and lower-than-normal temperatures in blue. An animated version of this map shows global temperature anomalies changing over time, dating back to 1880.
