In a new report unveiled by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), it was
revealed that records for greenhouse gas levels, surface temperatures, ocean heat
and acidification, sea level rise, Antarctic Sea ice cover, and glacier retreat have not
only been surpassed but often shattered. The WMO State of the Global Climate
2023 report paints a dire picture, attributing misery and economic losses in the
billions of dollars to heatwaves, floods, droughts, wildfires, and increasingly
intense tropical cyclones.
