- Each of the last eight years, if projections for 2022 hold, will be hotter than any year prior to 2015, the UN said Sunday, detailing a dramatic increase in the rate of global warming.
- This year is on track to be the fifth or sixth warmest ever recorded despite the impact since 2020 of La Nina — a periodic and naturally occurring phenomenon in the Pacific that cools the atmosphere.
- In the European Alps, glacier melt records have been shattered in 2022, with average thickness losses of between three and over four metres (between 9.8 and over 13 feet), the most ever recorded.
