Publisher's note: the authors have alerted us that in the originally published article, an erroneous number was reported in Table 10 (2014–2023 should read 1.81 °C in the third column, not 1.74 °C). This has been corrected and Fig. 11 updated accordingly. Everything else remains unchanged.

Short summary
This paper tracks some key indicators of global warming through time, from 1850 through to the end of 2023. It is designed to give an authoritative estimate of global warming to date and its causes. We find that in 2023, global warming reached 1.3 °C and is increasing at over 0.2 °C per decade. This is caused by all-time-high greenhouse gas emissions.
