New Zealand had its hottest year on record in 2022, beating a mark set just a year earlier thanks to a combination of natural weather cycles and manmade global warming, the agency that monitors temperatures said Wednesday.
The nation's top four hottest years have all been recorded since 2016, and scientists don't see the trend reversing. Records are being broken around the globe, with Spain and Britain among other nations to also hit new highs in 2022.
