Even if 2023 was a cooler year, globally, I would still be seriously concerned about the decades-long trend of significant warming. The emphasis put on the warming this year is completely rational.
Imagine if our global surface temperature average continues to steadily increase, say over 50 years, and we continue to see dramatic spikes in temperature like we're seeing now? Not only will habitats and the life within them be decimated, but humans will be included. In my small city, the 2021 heatwave in Western Canada killed over 600 people more than a heatwave typically would. That's staggering, and we're just getting started.
