by In a report of the world’s most trustworthy climate updates, the parlous state of a planet was determined that has recorded its 10 hottest years in the past ten years.
The state of the world meteorological organization of global climate cancer lists alarming records, of which scientists should shock the world to take drastic measures – but they warn that they probably will not become of the lack of global leaders.
The report showed that the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide as well as methane and laugh oxide has been at the highest level in the past 800,000 years.
Here are the most important results of the report:
In 2024 they set a new heat record
Last year it was confirmed that it was the hottest since the start of the records 175 years ago and defeated the previous record in 2023.
And in 2024 it was probably the first time that the global temperatures, according to the WMO 1.5 degrees Celsius, exceeded the baseline set from 1850 to 1900.
Scientists say that this does not mean that we have permanently exceeded the global limits defined in the Paris Agreement – which the United States left on the first day of President Donald Trump’s second term – but we get closer.
The record levels of greenhouse gases were mainly responsible for higher temperatures, supported by a short -term thrust by El Niño, a weather pattern that creates warmer water in the eastern Pacific, the report says.
Long -term global warming lies in the pre -industrial era to 1.34 and 1.41 degrees Celsius, said the WMO.
General Secretary of the United Nations, António Guterres, said the restriction of the global increase in temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius is still possible, but “the leaders have to appear to achieve this.”
In each of the past eight years there was a record for octopus heat
Increasing global temperatures inevitably mean warmer water because oceans absorb 90% of the excess heat.
New heat records have been set for each of the past eight years, and the rate of ocean heating in the past two decades has been more than twice as high as from 1950 to 2005.
Warm water caused a heavy bleaching of coral reefs last year, driven tropical and subtropical storms and tightened the loss of sea ice.

The increase rate of sea level has doubled since the satellite measurements began
The rate of the global middle increase of sea level has doubled since the first satellite record in 1993 to achieve a record high in 2024, the report says.
The increase of 2.1 millimeters per year, which was recorded between 1993 and 2002, was placed in the shade between 2015 and 2024 by an increase of 4.7 millimeters.
Higher sea levels have an impact on coastal communities, including floods, erosion and salinization of the groundwater.
The increase in sea level is tightened by sea ice melt, and there is no sign that slowed down. The three years since 2021 brought the largest three-year loss to Glacier mass per record.
“Exceptionally negative” losses were recorded in Norway, Sweden, Svalbard and the tropical Andes, said the WMO.

In 2024, most people were expelled in 16 years due to climate effects
Tropical cyclones, floods, droughts and other dangers in 2024 distributed the highest number of people since 2008 when 36 million people were forced from their houses.
This year, about half – 15 million – were driven into Sichuan after the earthquake. The floods affected also millions in India.
In 2024, tropical hurricanes and hurricanes brought destructive winds, heavy rain and floods. Dozens of unprecedented heat waves were recorded, including in Saudi Arabia, where the temperatures during the Hajj pilgrimage reach 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit).
Forest fires and heavy drought also raged by some countries, repressed people and disturbed food supply. In eight countries, at least one million more people stood in an acute nutritional uncertainty compared to 2023, said the WMO.

Some of the turbulence could have been avoided with early warning systems, although in parts of the world that are most susceptible to climate effects most susceptible to the disaster in advance.
“Only half of all countries worldwide has appropriate early warning systems.
What scientists say
Sarah Perkins-Kirchpatrick, professor at the Fenner School of Environment and Society at Australian National University, said the world had reached a point where the net zero emissions were no longer enough.
“We have to stop hit Snooze at our alarm, which is the regular global temperatures of the record temperatures,” she said. “How much more do we have to scream and scream that climate change takes place, and without serious measures it only gets worse?
Linden Ashcroft, lecturer for climate science at the University of Melbourne, said that there was not enough attention to warnings.
“To be honest, I’m not quite sure what to do next. She said in a written explanation.
“If we do not see the real climate management of governments and companies, I will save this answer and send through again next year.”
