HuffPost reports that 2023 saw global record-breaking
ocean temperatures, widespread wildfires

amplified by El NiƱo conditions, so we end up
with longer and more severe heat waves
and extended periods of drought, Jan Esper, professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz
and lead author of the paper, via HuffPost.
