Leaders Online Desk: The United Nations World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has issued a red alert regarding global warming. The organization has recently released a report. The report also notes unprecedented increases in greenhouse gases, land and water temperatures, and melting of glaciers and sea ice in 2023.
Heat has broken all records in 2023. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) released its annual climate status report on Tuesday. 2023 is predicted to be the hottest year on record. While the period from 2014 to 2023 has been recorded as the warmest decade. During these 10 years the oceans were affected by heat waves. The glaciers also suffered a record loss of ice.
Antonio Guterres, head of the United Nations, said that the report of the World Meteorological Organization shows that our earth is on the verge of extinction. Our Earth is signaling the next perils. A fossil fuel pollution chart shows how much climate damage is being done. It's a warning of how fast the Earth is changing.'
WMO chief Andrea Celeste Saulo warned that the average temperature near the Earth's surface last year was 1.45 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. It is now close to a dangerous 1.5 degrees Celsius. These figures have never been so close to the 1.5°C limit below the Paris Agreement. The Paris Climate Agreement was agreed by member states in 2015.
WMO chief Andrea Celeste Saulo added, 'This report should be viewed as a red alert by the world. The heat record has been broken once again.'
