Speaking about climate change at Columbia University in New York, Antonio Guterres said: “Extreme levels of wildfires, floods, cyclones and hurricanes are increasing. Man is waging a war against nature. It is suicidal. He will treat nature, nature will return the same way. It is already doing terrible things. ‘
In 2015 the Paris Climate Agreement was signed. 196 countries signed the agreement to prevent global warming from reaching alarming levels. In compliance with the terms of the agreement, the countries began to reduce the use of fossil fuels to reduce carbon emissions. Under the terms of the Paris Agreement, global temperatures were guaranteed to be well below two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels (1850-1900). Furthermore, efforts have been made to keep the temperature rise within one and a half degrees Celsius.
“2020 is another bad year for our climate,” said Peteri Talas, WMO Secretary General.
Neville Nichols of Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, says the 2020 global warming report shows evidence of a rapid increase in global warming. “We have increased global warming by 1 degree Celsius through greenhouse gases for more than a century,” he said. I’m on my way to increasing 1 degree Celsius in the next 30 years.
