Global temperatures have accelerated to record-setting levels this month, an ominous sign in the climate crisis ahead of a gathering El Niño that could potentially propel 2023 to become the hottest year ever recorded.
There has been “remarkable global warmth” so far in June, confirmed Copernicus, the European Union’s Earth observation arm, which said that the first few days of the month even breached a 1.5C increase compared with pre-industrial times. This is probably the first time this has happened since industrialization, the agency said.
The long-term warming conditions caused by the burning of fossil fuels will probably receive a further pulse of heat via El Niño, a naturally recurring phenomenon where sections of the Pacific Ocean heat up, typically causing temperatures to spike across the world.

Get ready to see this headline often, year after year, I guess.
Yay for the coolest year of the next 100
Now that’s the positive thinking we need.
I think I have already seen this headline year after year for the last…what…5 years at least?
Which is absolutely horrifying.
Not as horrifying as when a billion people start pushing against borders because they have nowhere to go. We are in for a refugee crisis that will see authoritarian governments outright mass murdering anyone who tried to get in.
The warmest years globally have all occurred since 2005, with the top ten being 2016, 2020, 2019, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2014, 2010, 2013 and 2005 (tied), respectively.
I picked the wrong decade to move to Southern Europe.
Haha… It doesn’t matter much where we live; in one way or another, we will eventually face difficulties or unfavourable circumstances.
For a brief moment I was into the idea of prepping until it I realized that no living creature can escape this mess. I’ve prepped enough to be mobile with the idea that mutual aid will fill in the gaps somehow.
Not the best plan but I can only push through my indifference so much. I’m trying to spend my time now with the people I hold closest to me and making sure they know how much I appreciate them.
I was seriously considering doing the same, but am slowly changing my mind. Prague is starting to look better and better, LOL.
I spent a few months in CEE today and it fucking sucked. I was still wearing my winter coat into the end of May and there was almost no fucking sun. 6 months of shit weather is absolutely brutal on the psyche.
True. I am considering getting a retirement residency somewhere near Bremen, to have a nice beach with Coconut trees at the North Sea beach… (Still ~20 years to go till retirement, if I plant coconut trees now, they might thrive by the time I retire)
