Total hoax. Russia,China and Nordic countries set all time cold December records. Ice density gained in the Antarctic over the last ten years. Deaths by freezing outnumber deaths by warmth 9-1. [/quote]

At the global level, 2023 was the hottest on record, both in terms of air temperature measured just about the surface of the earth, and sea-surface temperature. With respect to particular locations, only a tiny % of the earth's total surface experienced cooler-than-normal temperatures in 2023. Most of the earth's surface was at least one standard deviation above historic norms (using 1960 to 2022 as the reference period).

With respect to Russia and China -- large sections of these countries experienced record-high annual average temperatures in 2023. With respect to Nordic countries, they were around the 60th percentile of historic temperature norms.

The global average temperature trend is about 0.33F per decade across the 1960 to 2023 period, with a 95% confidence interval running from 0.29F to 0.36F. If we focus solely on land areas (and exclude oceans), the trend is about 0.5F per decade, with a 95% confidence interval from 0.45F to 0.55F. Across a 100-year period, this translates into a 5F increase.

The data is quite convincing. There are a variety of temperature datasets, and it doesn't matter which of these datasets you use -- they all tell the same story of rapid global warming.
