It was already known that in 2023 we could record record temperatures, and many forest fires will burn, but now a recent study has confirmed that we have not seen such a hot summer in 2,000 years, which is why researchers examined annual rings of ancient trees.
At the beginning of July last year, the world temperature record was broken, measuring 17 degrees Celsius. It was an astonishing heat in many European cities, which people were already having difficulty dealing with. New recently published Stady He revealed that there had not been such a hot summer in 2,000 years, although this was not a question until now, as measuring devices had not shown such high temperatures since official measurements began in 1850.
In the current study, experts analyzed the annual rings of ancient trees, as these plants are very sensitive to changes in rainfall and temperature. In drier times, the rings are thinner, while in wetter times they are thicker. The researchers analyzed available annual annular data up to the height of the Roman Empire, based on which it turns out that current climate change appears dramatic.
According to data from A The measured temperature in summer 2023 exceeded the temperature of the coldest summer in the past 2000 years 536 by 3.9 degrees Celsius.Because volcanic activity sent a huge amount of sulfur particles into the stratosphere, causing the planet to cool. However, scientists point out that the study is limited to the Northern Hemisphere, with very little information available for the Southern Hemisphere.
