Record 2023 Heat Linked to Reduced Cloud Cover
The year 2023 saw record-breaking global temperatures, reaching 1.48 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial average, exceeding the previous record by 0.2 degrees. New research attributes a significant portion of this increase to reduced low cloud cover, which decreased the Earth's albedo and ampli...
