Today, the WMO released the #StateOfClimate report. In 2023, the hottest year ever documented, records were broken for greenhouse gas levels, ocean heat and acidification, sea level rise, Antarctic sea cover, and glacier retreat.

Confermato dal servizio satellitare Copernicus Climate: 2023 anno più caldo da quando esistono misurazioni strumentali globali (1850) e probabilmente anche da 125.000 anni, secondo dati indiretti (carote glaciali, anelli alberi, pollini fossili...) climate.copernicus.eu/copern…

Last month...
- Earth had its hottest July in 174 years
- Antarctica had record-low sea ice extent
- South America had its highest monthly temperature anomaly
- Hurricane Don became the 5th longest-lasting Atlantic storm for July

Places that were warmer than average appear in red and places that were cooler than average appear in blue. The graph depicts July temperatures compared to the 20th-century average for each year from 1850 to 2023. 2023 of which set a new record for the hottest July ever.

🌡️ Every increment of warming results in rapidly escalating hazards.
More intense heatwaves, heavier rainfall & other weather extremes further increase risks for human health & ecosystems.

New #StateofClimate update from WMO and @MetOffice:
66% chance that annual global surface temperature will temporarily exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for at least one of next 5 years
98% likelihood that at least one of next five years will be warmest on
record.

The growing climate crisis means more extreme weather events (record cold, record heat). But the direction is clear. Here is a 90 second video summary of climate change since 1850. Notice a pattern?
There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate

Here's a view of Vadret da Tschierva and Piz Roseg in 1935 (left) vs 2022 (right). Glaciers melting and rising sea levels, which hit a record high in 2022, are expected to persist for thousands of years. This is the #StateOfClimate. 🔗 bit.ly/stateofclimate2022

We just observed Earth's 2nd warmest March on record. Some of the strongest hotspots with many records were found in Argentina and across a vast area reaching from NW Africa all the way through Asia.
It wasn't warm for everyone though...

Intense heat is breaking March records in Morocco and Southwest Europe.
Hottest March day for many weather stations including nearly 40°C in Agadir in Morocco with many stations breaking 30°C across Spain, Portugal & southern France.

It's time to ditch the “take-make-waste" linear model!
A zero-waste approach is key for addressing the triple planetary crisis, to #BeatWastePollution & improve well-being for everyone, everywhere.

This is what happens when industrial civilization pumps an extra 150 ppm of CO2 into the atmosphere in a record geological timeframe. Losing Earth's Albedo and huge freshwater sources is as serious as it gets.

The extent and longevity of extremes so far in March is impressive.
Averaging the temperatures through the month so far reveals very striking hotspots. Many records are being broken.
Meanwhile it has been notably cold in the western half of North America.
