Earth continues to warm at record levels, with 2023 on the verge of breaking a key threshold humankind has been seeking to avoid for almost a decade now.
The European climate agency Copernicus announces on Tuesday that last year was 1.48 degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial levels, practically reaching the 1.5 °C limit set in the 2015 Paris accords, which aim at avoiding the most severe effects of global warming.
