2023 was the hottest year ever recorded by far.

Question

This article claims that 2023 was the hottest year ever recorded, due to climate change.

Answer 1

NASA report confirmed, "Earth’s average surface temperature in 2023 was the warmest on record, according to an analysis by NASA." NASA Analysis Confirms 2023 as Warmest Year on Record - NASA

Also, BBC reports, "The year 2023 has been confirmed as the warmest on record, driven by human-caused climate change and boosted by the natural El Niño weather event." 2023 confirmed as world's hottest year on record

 In addition, when I search for " what is the warmest year on record?", I find results that only point to 2023.

This claim in this article is not exaggerated and is true.

Answer 2

The WMO report confirmed that 2023 was the warmest year on record, with the global average near-surface temperature at 1.45 °Celsius (with a margin of uncertainty of ± 0.12 °C) above the pre-industrial baseline. It was the warmest ten-year period on record. https://wmo.int/news/media-centre/climate-change-indicators-reached-record-levels-2023-wmo#:~:text=The%20WMO%20report%20confirmed%20that,ten%2Dyear%20period%20on%20record.
