UN weather agency sounds warning as greenhouse gas levels hit record high
Description
October 25, 2021
The UN’s weather agency, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), said on Monday that greenhouse gas concentrations hit a new record high in 2020, increasing at a faster rate than the annual average for the last decade despite a temporary reduction during pandemic lockdowns. WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas said the current rate of increase in heat-trapping gases would result in temperature rises "far in excess" of the 2015 Paris Agreement target.
