There's a big ass fire
The worst climate related event in history happens

They got the free space though!

We peaked in terms of temperature, but I don't recall any particularly large fires. Nothing compared to Australia in Dec of '22 (and rolling that over to '23 is kinda cheating) or California in '20.

On the storm front, the '05 and '17 and '22 hurricane seasons were far worse than anything we saw in '23. Even the Japanese Tsunami managed to wait until the year rolled over.

Yeah, not the worst year overall for climate disasters, but it's a vague enough description there were definitely going to be things like all the temperature records that were broken you could point to as the 'worst event'. Also the Canadian wildfires were definitely big enough to qualify as at least 'a big ass fire'.

Fair. Per the old joke, "this is the worst year yet, but on the plus side it'll be the best year going forward".
