Geneva: Last year there was tremendous heat all over the world and now the United Nations has given evidence of this and said that the decade from 2014 to 2023 has been the hottest decade in human history. This period has seen extreme heat. The number of glaciers in the world has decreased significantly. Record numbers of snow have fallen from glaciers. Due to this their existence is in danger. Heat waves have made the oceans extremely warm. It seems as if mankind has reached the end of existence.
The World Meteorological Organization of the United Nations has shown the real state of the world's atmosphere in its climate report. Its preliminary data shows that the year 2023 was the hottest year on record. Thus the last ten years of human history were the hottest years on record.
UN chief Antonio Guenters said that this report shows that our planet appears to be at the end of its existence. The earth has signaled us to wake up. Fossil fuel pollution is rapidly damaging the Earth's atmosphere. He also warned that the process of climate change has accelerated.
The World Meteorological Organization said in its report that the average temperature on the Earth's surface last year was 1.45 degrees higher than the pre-industrial year. Thus, this temperature is very close to what the world's countries agreed to in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement to limit the Earth's surface temperature from rising by more than 1.5 degrees. André Celeste Solow, head of the World Meteorological Organization, warned that we have never been closer to the Paris Agreement's lower limit of 1.5 degrees.
He said that this report is a red alert for the whole world. Based on world weather data, the organization concluded that temperature records are being broken one after another. These figures point to the dangerous climate change situation in the world.
Saulo emphasized that climate change is no longer limited to rising temperatures. In 2023 we saw unimaginable conditions, the oceans became unimaginably warmer, glaciers were melting like never before, Antarctic ice was melting.
Another concern is that last year, marine heat waves heated nearly a third of the global ocean every day. By the end of 2023, the situation had become such that 90 percent of the world's oceans were experiencing heat waves.
With this, the world's glaciers suffered the biggest loss since the 1950s. Large-scale ice melting in western North America and Europe. Glaciers in the Alps alone have lost ten percent of their volume in the last two years. Antarctic sea ice levels are at an all-time low.
Red signal from expert oceanographers
The surface of the oceans is burning: a warning bell
– Hurricanes increase due to man-made factors, but not necessarily
The surface of the world's oceans is burning. Sea surface temperature records set for 2024 and new news are rising worryingly daily.
Sources from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA-NOA) have informed that the surface temperature of all the world's oceans has started rising in mid-March 2023. Also, according to the Climate Reanalyzer of the University of Maine, the temperature of the Earth's vast sphere is also continuously increasing. Besides, the existence of marine life is also under threat.
Joel Hirschi, head of ocean system modeling at the National Oceanography Center (UK), expressed concern that sea surface temperature records from previous years around the world will be broken in 2023. Now something similar is likely to happen in 2024. Noana Oceanographer Gregory.C. Johnson said that, for example, the average surface temperature of all the world's oceans in 2023 was 0.25 degrees Celsius higher than in 2022. These changes mean that the increase in average surface temperature of the world's oceans in one year is equal to the increase over the past two decades. It is really very important for all this to happen and also very surprising.
According to research studies by expert scientists about the movements of the oceans, the ocean surface is getting warmer due to man-made global warming. Also, the effect of El-Nino (warm currents in the Pacific Ocean are called El-Nino and cold currents are called La-Nina) is also true.
A special thing. The average surface temperature of the oceans will continue to increase in the second phase of 2024 and if the effect of La Nina factor starts then the risk of Atlantic hurricanes is also likely to increase.
