The past eight years were the warmest on record globally, according to six leading international temperature datasets.
UN scientists have said that "stark" data from 2022 shows that last year was another "near-record", coming in as the sixth warmest in records dating back to 1850.
They've warned that despite the extreme temperatures we saw in 2022, the year could be "one of the coolest years of the rest of our lives" as global warming is fueled by ever-rising greenhouse gas concentrations and accumulated heat.
