The World Meteorological Agency warns of a new record in global temperatures

Celeste Solo, the Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization, warned of a new global temperature record and announced that, based on data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service, last June’s average temperature exceeded the average estimated for the pre-industrial reference period (1850). -1900) has exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius.

According to Ilium VII report, according to the Paris Agreement, countries agreed to keep the long-term average global temperature increase to less than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to strive to reduce it to 1.0 degrees Celsius by the end of this century. limit 5 degrees Celsius.

The scientific community has repeatedly warned that an increase in temperature of more than 1.5 degrees Celsius can cause severe effects of climate change. In this regard, Carlo Bontempo, director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, said: “We will certainly see new records being broken, because this is inevitable unless we stop adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and oceans.”

Earth’s atmosphere is now trapping twice as much extra heat as it did in 1993, and this has made scientists increasingly concerned about its impact. to worry about the world’s oceans.

Planetary energy imbalance is a measure of how added heat is distributed throughout the climate system. This lack of balance is the difference between the amount of energy entering the Earth’s atmosphere from the sun and the amount of energy returning to space.
