FILE - A surfer rides a wave in the Atlantic Ocean in Biarritz, southwestern France, Oct. 7, 2023. . This October was the hottest on record globally, 1.7 degrees Celsius warmer than the pre-industrial average for the month — and theOctober was a whopping 0.
“This is a clear sign that we are going into a climate regime that will have more impact on more people," Schlosser said. “We better take this warning that we actually should have taken 50 years ago or more and draw the right conclusions.”in part because oceans have been warming, which means they are doing less to counteract global warming than in the past. Historically, the ocean has absorbed as much as 90% of the excess heat from climate change, Burgess said.
Schlosser said that means the world should expect more records to be broken as a result of that warming, but the question is whether they will come in smaller steps going forward. He added that the planet is already exceeding the 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming since pre-industrial times that the Paris agreement was aimed at capping, and that the planet hasn't yet seen the full impact of that warming.
“It's so much more expensive to keep burning these fossil fuels than it would be to stop doing it. That’s basically what it shows,” said Friederike Otto, a climate scientist at Imperial College London. “And of course, you don’t see that when you just look at the records being broken and not at the people and systems that are suffering, but that — that is what matters.”Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.
