Summer 2023 was the hottest in past 2,000 years: Study
Recent research has shown that the summer of 2023 was the hottest in some 2,000 years, with temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere reaching record levels. Scientists used tree rings and meteorological records to compare current temperatures to those in the distant past. While some claim it was the warmest in 100,000 years, others argue that such claims are overstated due to limitations in past climate data sources.
