2023 Will Be the Hottest Year on Record
---------------------------------------

The European Union's climate monitoring agency says 2023 is on track to
be the hottest year in at least 125,000 years. October shattered the
previous record for the month, set in 2019, with surface temperatures
soaring to 0.85 degrees Celsius above historical averages. On Wednesday,
a new United Nations report found that the world's top fossil fuel
producers still plan to produce  more than double the amount of fossil
fuels in 2030 than what would be consistent with limiting global heating
to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
