Climate change raised temperatures for 7.6 billion

Human-caused climate change made everyday temperatures warmer for 7.6 billion people last year, according to a new analysis by research and news nonprofit Climate Central.

The big picture: Impacts of the warming planet on daily temperatures are being felt by roughly 96% of the world’s population, with the strongest influences in cities across the Global South.

Context: Climate Central researchers measured the influence of climate change on daily average temperatures for 1,021 major global cities between Oct. 1, 2021 and Sept. 30, 2022.

They used the organization’s newly expanded “Climate Shift Index,” which quantifies how much climate change has altered the likelihood of daily average temperatures at locations worldwide.
