2022 was 5th-warmest year on record, scientists say
If there is any indication that temperatures around the world are rising, look to the last several years and the intense warmth experienced in almost every region, experts said.
Last year was the fifth-warmest year on record, according to a report released by the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service on Tuesday.
On July 19, in the midst of a deadly heat wave in Europe, the temperature in Coningsby, U.K., soared to 104.5 degrees Fahrenheit, marking the hottest temperature ever recorded in the country. It bested its previous record by 2.8 degrees Fahrenheit -- a glaring indicator of climate change amid a summer that went down as Europe's warmest ever recorded, the report said.
In the new report issued by Copernicus, the data from 2022 indicates that Earth's warming continued at a similar rate to recent years. In addition to last year's temperatures marking the fifth warmest on record, the last eight years are now also the eighth warmest on record, according to Copernicus.
