On Friday, Jan. 12 at 11 a.m. EST, NASA and NOAA will release the 2023 assessment of global temperatures. Click HERE for more information about the media briefing.
2023 was one for the record books with the hottest summer on record in the Northern Hemisphere and the warmest winter on record for the Southern Hemisphere. Last year also had 25 confirmed disaster events as of Dec. 9, that resulted in more than $1 billion in damages for each event in the United States alone. Southern California saw its first-ever tropical storm watch in August. Smoke from Canadian wildfires turned the skies in New York City orange and triggered air quality alerts along the East Coast. The Midwest experienced devastating flooding and a string of deadly tornadoes that claimed five lives. In a summer marked by extraordinary heat in the Southwest, Phoenix had 31 consecutive days of temperature above 110 degrees in July. Elsewhere in the world, record-breaking Tropical Cyclone Freddy became the longest-lived cyclone in history devastating parts of Madagascar and Mozambique with deadly flooding and landslides.
Talk about this record year and what it means with a NASA or NOAA expert.

Suggested Anchor Intro:
2023 was a year of weather extremes across the planet from the hottest summer on record to Hurricane Idalia that caused vast damage across Florida and the southwestern U.S. Health hazards from the massive wildfires in Canada reached vast regions of the U.S. that don’t normally see impacts from the smoky fire season. Here in OUR region we experienced ……
Let’s find out how 2023 ranked in the books with NASA (or NOAA) climate expert XXX, here to give us a 2023 climate breakdown.
Suggested Questions:
1. NASA and NOAA just announced the latest global temperature data for 2023, where does 2023 rank in the climate record?
2. In 2023 we saw a lot of extreme events. What impacts from climate change can we expect in our region? Pick a general area.
West Coast
Midwest
East Coast
International
3. What upcoming Earth science missions are you most excited about?
4. What action steps are NASA/NOAA taking to address climate issues?
5. Where can viewers learn more about today’s announcement, and what it means for our area?
Questions for longer interviews:
6. We’re currently in a strong El Niño. Can you explain what El Niño is and how it impacts global temperatures?
7. NASA is preparing to launch a new satellite - the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud Ocean Ecosystem or PACE - in just a few weeks that will shed new light on the health of our atmosphere and oceans. What are you most excited about with this mission?
8. According to NOAA’s annual climate and weather disaster report, 2023 was a costly one. Can you tell us more about this report and how it differs from other years?
9. Given how extraordinary 2023 was, what does that tell you about future trends?
10. The Northeast just experienced its first major winter storm in two years. Does that mean this year might be off to a cooler start than last year?
