This is the best summary I could come up with:
The world’s September temperatures were the warmest on record, breaking the previous high by a huge margin, according to the EU climate service.
September’s high mark comes in the wake of the hottest summer on record in the northern hemisphere as soaring temperatures show no signs of relenting.
The data, from the Copernicus Climate Change Service, shows that the month had the biggest jump from the long term average in records dating back to 1940.
“This month was, in my professional opinion as a climate scientist - absolutely gobsmackingly bananas,” Zeke Hausfather, an experienced researcher, wrote on X formerly known as Twitter.
This is one of the reasons for surging global temperatures - when added to the long-term warming caused by humans, mainly from fossil fuel burning releasing planet-warming greenhouse gases.
Experts believe the scale of heating puts new pressure on politicians to act, as they prepare to gather for the COP28 climate summit at the end of November.
