2022 in Review: Global Temperature

Based on NASA and NOAA data, 2022 was the sixth hottest year on record, measuring 2.03°F (1.13°C) warmer than the 1881-1910 baseline. This warming occurred despite the cooling effect of a third consecutive La Niña year. The Arctic continues to warm nearly four times faster than the global average, with the last seven years being the warmest since 1900. The document also notes that renewables are projected to become the largest global electricity source by 2027, with China, the United States, and India expected to drive two-thirds of that growth.

• Averaging data from NASA and NOAA, 2022 was the sixth hottest year on record and was 2.03°F (1.13°C) warmer than the 1881-1910 baseline.
• The warmth of 2022 persisted despite the presence of La Niña, the cold phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation, which continued for a third consecutive winter.
• The Arctic is warming nearly four times faster than the global average; the monitoring year from October 2021 to September 2022 was the sixth warmest on record for the region, and the last seven years were the warmest since 1900.
• Renewable energy is projected to exceed coal as the largest global source of electricity by 2027, with China, India, and the United States expected to account for two-thirds of global growth by doubling their capacity expansion.
