MUDANÇA CLIMÁTICA

ùltima década vai ser a mais quente no registo

By Jordi Bou

December 3, 2019 - As temperaturas médias no período 2010-2019 parecem indicar que
vai ser a década mais quente no registo, sugerem as constatações
preliminares da Organização Meteorológica Mundial.

An annual assessment of the Earth’s climate by the Geneva-based organization said global temperatures so far this year were 1.1 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial average, putting 2019 on course to be in the top three warmest years ever recorded.

The warming experienced over the past decade is taking its toll on the natural world. The ice is melting at both poles and sea level rise has accelerated since the start of satellite measurements in 1993.

The world's seas are now a quarter more acidic than 150 years ago, threatening vital marine ecosystems upon which billions of people rely for food and jobs.

Climate change is also a key driver of the recent rise in global hunger, with more than 820 million people affected in 2018.

The number of newly displaced people as a result of weather extremes could reach 22 million by the end of 2019.

An annual assessment of the WMO underscored the stakes at two weeks of talks in Madrid aimed at shoring up the 2015 Paris Agreement to avert catastrophic global warming.
