Global heat in ‘uncharted territory’: 2023 could be the hottest year on record
Not trying to deny anything but with the length of records and a random distribution you’d still expect “hottest year” to happen pretty often. (Somebody please do the statistics)<p>With a very slightly warming planet it would indeed happen quite often.<p>In other words… setting records means something, but less than one would expect by default.<p>The more valid statistic is something like <i>n</i> of the last 30 years have been the warmest on record, or something along those lines.
