The 2023 Global Climate Report released by the World Meteorological Organization on the 19th shows that in 2023, multiple climate change indicators such as global greenhouse gas concentration, surface temperature, ocean heat and acidification, sea level rise, Antarctic sea ice area, and glacier melting have set new records. The report states that 2023 is the hottest year on record, with global average near surface temperatures 1.45 degrees Celsius (± 0.12 degrees Celsius) higher than pre industrial levels. The past 10 years have been the hottest on record. The report states that the global average sea surface temperature has been continuously reaching new historical highs since April 2023, with significant record breaking in July, August, and September. At present, the Antarctic sea ice area is the lowest on record, with the maximum sea ice area at the end of winter being 1 million square kilometers less than the previous record low. The report also states that data shows that in 2023, the concentrations of the three main greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, continued to rise at record levels in 2022, with carbon dioxide concentrations 50% higher than pre industrial levels. The World Meteorological Organization cited UN Secretary General Guterres as saying in a communique released on the same day that all major indicators are issuing warnings, with some indicators not only breaking records, but also almost exploding. According to the report, in 2023, heatwaves, floods, droughts, wildfires, and more have affected the daily lives of millions of people, causing billions of dollars in economic losses. (Lai Xin She)
