2023 Climate Spiral: An Unbelievable Year

Re: @ZLabe@fediscience.org
It was an unbelievable year for global climate.
As data is released in the first two weeks of January, you are going to be hearing all about these new climate change records. Apologies for all my graphs in advance!! 😬
See the spiral animation produced by NASA at: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5190/
You can also see it the other way around, that the previous 5 years appeared somewhat colder than where climate change would put them, because they were in La Niña.
The global heating from climate change is so strong that La Niña is hardly a dip anymore. It's pretty much just a plateau now, at temperatures slightly below the previous El Niño year:
