Geneva, March 19 (Reporter Zeng Yan) The “2023 Global Climate Status Report” released by the World Meteorological Organization on the 19th shows that in 2023, global greenhouse gas concentrations, surface temperatures, ocean heat and acidification, sea level rise, Antarctic sea ice area and glacier melting have set new records.

The report said that 2023 is the hottest year on record, with the global average near-surface temperature 145 degrees Celsius (0.12 degrees Celsius) higher than pre-industrial levels. The past 10 years have been the hottest on record.

The report said that the global average sea surface temperature has continued to hit record highs since April 2023, with July, August and September significantly setting new records. Currently, the Antarctic sea ice area is at a new low on record, and the maximum sea ice area at the end of winter is 1 million square kilometers less than the previous record low.

The report also said that data shows that in 2023, the concentrations of the three major greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, will continue to rise from the record levels in 2022, with the concentration of carbon dioxide 50% higher than pre-industrial levels.

In a communiqué issued on the same day, the World Meteorological Organization quoted United Nations Secretary-General Guterres as saying that all major indicators are sounding warnings, and some of them not only set new records, but are also close to exploding the charts. Celeste Sauolo, secretary-general of the organization, said: The World Meteorological Organization is issuing a red alert to the world.

According to the report, in 2023, heat waves, floods, droughts, wildfires, etc. will affect the daily lives of millions of people and cause billions of dollars in economic losses.
