The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) report for 2022, published this Friday, reveals that glaciers are melting at a dizzying rate and that several indicators of climate change have returned to record levels.
In the annual report on the state of the world’s climate, WMO highlights the global changes to land, oceans, and atmospherecaused by record levels of greenhouse gases, responsible for trapping heat that results in global warming.
The WMO, a UN agency, specifies that “Antarctic sea ice is at the lowest level in history and some European glaciers are literally melting at record speed“.
Last year, the 2021 report noted records in four markers considered key to climate change: greenhouse gas concentrations, sea level rise, temperature and ocean acidification.
