This year will be the hottest in recorded history after an "extraordinary" November became the sixth record-breaking month in a row, EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service announced on Wednesday.

Samantha Burgess, deputy head of the Copernicus service, said that 2023 has "now had six record-breaking months and two record-breaking seasons. The extraordinary global November temperatures, including two days warmer than 2C above pre-industrial (levels), mean that 2023 is the warmest year in recorded history."

According to Copernicus, 2023's global average temperature is 1.46°C warmer than pre-industrial levels.

There had been warnings this year could take the title of hottest year from 2016 – particularly after records toppled in September and October – but this marks the first time it has been confirmed.

Scientists say data from ice cores, tree rings and the like suggests this year could be the warmest in more than 100,000 years.

The National Center for Wildlife (NCW), in collaboration with the Imam Abdulaziz Bin Mohammed Royal Reserve Development Authority, has released over 30 endangered animals into the King Khalid Royal Reserve, as part of programs for breeding and reintroducing endangered species into their natural habitats, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Wednesday.
The release included 20 Arabian sand gazelles, five Arabian Oryx, four wild hares, three steppe eagles, and a Black kite, aiming to boost the reserve's biodiversity, restore ecological balance, enhance sustainability, and promote eco-tourism, SPA said.
These national efforts reflect the Kingdom's pioneering efforts in preserving natural resources and pursuing sustainable development through building sustainable ecological models. They also demonstrate Saudi Arabia’s commitment to global environmental protection and sustainability, SPA added.
