New Study Supports Evidence , That Summer 2023 Was the , Hottest in Over 2 Millennia.<br/>According to an analysis of tree rings going all the <br/>way back to year one, 2023 was the hottest summer <br/>in the Northern Hemisphere in over 2000 years. .<br/>According to an analysis of tree rings going all the <br/>way back to year one, 2023 was the hottest summer <br/>in the Northern Hemisphere in over 2000 years. .<br/>HuffPost reports that scientists analyzed over <br/>10,000 tree rings to determine temperature <br/>levels dating back two millennia.<br/>The team from the University of Cambridge and the <br/>Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz found that the <br/>summer of 2023 was 2.2 degrees Celsius above average.<br/>The temperature from June to August 2023 was <br/>compared to average temperatures from the <br/>same period between year one and 1890. .<br/>When you look at the long sweep <br/>of history, you can see just how <br/>dramatic recent global warming is. , Ulf Büntgen, Cambridge Department of Geography, via HuffPost.<br/>2023 was an exceptionally hot <br/>year, and this trend will continue <br/>unless we reduce greenhouse <br/>gas emissions dramatically, Ulf Büntgen, Cambridge Department of Geography, via HuffPost.<br/>HuffPost reports that 2023 saw global record-breaking <br/>ocean temperatures, widespread wildfires <br/>across the continent and scorching heat in cities.<br/>It’s true that the climate is always <br/>changing, but the warming in 2023, <br/>caused by greenhouse gases, is additionally <br/>amplified by El Niño conditions, so we end up <br/>with longer and more severe heat waves <br/>and extended periods of drought, Jan Esper, professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz <br/>and lead author of the paper, via HuffPost.<br/>It’s true that the climate is always <br/>changing, but the warming in 2023, <br/>caused by greenhouse gases, is additionally <br/>amplified by El Niño conditions, so we end up <br/>with longer and more severe heat waves <br/>and extended periods of drought, Jan Esper, professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz <br/>and lead author of the paper, via HuffPost.<br/>When you look at the big picture, <br/>it shows just how urgent it is <br/>that we reduce greenhouse <br/>gas emissions immediately, Jan Esper, professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz <br/>and lead author of the paper, via HuffPost.<br/>When you look at the big picture, <br/>it shows just how urgent it is <br/>that we reduce greenhouse <br/>gas emissions immediately, Jan Esper, professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz <br/>and lead author of the paper, via HuffPost.<br/>The team's findings were <br/>published in the journal 'Nature.'
