The EU’s earth monitoring programme has shown that the average global temperature was about 1.2C above pre-industrial levels last year, making it the sixth warmest year on record.

The Copernicus Climate Change Service found in its annual summary of the earth’s climate that the year was characterized by 12 months of climate extremes, with Europe experiencing its warmest summer on record despite the occurrence of the La Nia phenomenon for the third year in a row, which has a cooling effect.

La Nia, the weather phenomenon that opposes El Nio, entails widespread cooling of the Pacific Ocean’s surface. According to Samantha Burgess, deputy director of Copernicus, the chances of this cycle continuing for a fourth year in a row are decreasing.

In a report released on Tuesday, Copernicus stated that data showed atmospheric levels of the harmful greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and methane had peaked in 2022, according to satellite records.

According to Copernicus, All-time high temperatures were recorded in the Arctic and Antarctic during the year, with some areas of Siberia and the Antarctic Peninsula experiencing temperatures that were more than 2C higher than the average for the period from 1991 to 2020 as a whole.
