2023 Getting Rated As Hottest Year On Record –UN Agency

2023 is proving to be the hottest year on record, the United Nations weather agency submitted on Thursday.

The agency has  however warned of worrying trends that suggest increasing floods, wildfires, glacier melt and heat waves in the future.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the World Meteorological Organization also warned that the average temperature for the year is up some 1.4 degrees C from pre-industrial times — a mere one-tenth of a degree under a target limit for the end of the century as laid out by the Paris climate accord in 2015.

The WMO secretary general said the onset earlier this year of El Niño, the weather phenomenon marked by heating in the Pacific Ocean, could tip the average temperature next year over the 1.5-degree (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) target cap set in Paris.

‘It is practically sure that during the coming four years we will hit this 1.5, at least on [a] temporary basis . And in the next decade we are more or less going to be there on a permanent basis’  Petteri Taalas submitted in an interview.

WMO issued the findings for Thursday’s start of the UN’s annual climate conference which is being held in the city of Dubai.

The UN agency said the benchmark of the key Paris accord goal will be whether the 1.5-degree increase is sustained over a 30-year span – not just a single year – but others say the world needs more clarity on that.

‘Clarity on breaching the Paris agreement guardrails will be crucial. Without an agreement on what actually will count as exceeding 1.5 degrees Celsius, we risk distraction and confusion at precisely the time when action to avoid the worst effects of climate change becomes even more urgent’ Richard Betts of Britain’s Met Office, said-Team@orientactualmags.com
