2015 to be Warmest Year on Record, says WMO
Earth’s weather in 2015 is breaking the annual heat record due to global warming and a strong El Nino, as per a report of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) released on Wednesday.
The bird report on 2015 of the specialized agency of the United Nations proclaimed this year is the hottest on record, which means the weather has broken previous year’s record. The report has been released before the end of 2015 because the planet has been so extraordinarily hot.
The report by WMO has been released just few days before 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris. World leaders will gather in Paris to discuss plans to fight climate change.
Michel Jarraud,secretary-general of the WMO, said Wednesday that 2015 is set to be the warmest year on record. Warm weather has broken every record almost everywhere. It is important to mention that climate change doesn’t only mean temperature change. More extreme events that earth is experiencing today are the results of climate change, as perJarraud.
The WMO report is not surprising as the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) researchers already were announcing that 2015 will the warmest year on record. As perNOAA, UN, weather agency of Japan and NASA, previous year has been the warmest year with a global temperature of about 14.57 degrees Celsius.
Jarraud said, “It is likely that the world has now warmed by 1 degree Celsius, or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, over pre-industrial times. That's a symbolic milestone: International leaders have set a goal of keeping global warming within 2 degrees C, 3.6 F, of pre-industrial times”.
