New study finds Earth warming at record rate, but no evidence of climate change accelerating

Earth warming rate hit an all time high in 2023 with 92% of last year’s surprising record-shattering heat caused by humans, top scientists have revealed.

The group of 57 scientists from around the world used United Nations-approved methods to examine what’s behind last year’s deadly burst of heat. They said even with a faster warming rate they don’t see evidence of significant acceleration in human-caused climate change beyond increased fossil fuel burning.

Last year’s record temperatures were so unusual that scientists have been debating what’s behind the big jump and whether climate change is accelerating or if other factors are in play.
