Leading climate scientist Zeke Hausfather has experienced profound surprise only twice in his professional life due to extreme global temperature readings.

The first instance of shock came when September 2023 recorded a global average temperature half a degree Celsius higher than any previously observed, a deviation described as "completely off the charts."

While the article does not detail the second instance of shock, it references other climate-related news, including a piece on how Danish experts are anticipating the start of the planet's "largest heat source" and the consequences for Denmark and the world. Another related item discusses Europe's heatwaves and their contributing factors beyond just high temperatures. A third mentions the vulnerability of global trade due to bottlenecks in maritime shipping, with a Danish connection.
