Global Average Surface Temperature In 2015 Is Likely To Be Warmest, WMO

26.11.2015 13:36

According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the global average surface temperature in 2015 is likely to be the warmest on record and to reach the symbolic and significant milestone of 1 Degree Celsius above the pre-industrial era. This is due to a combination of a strong El Nino and human-induced.

According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the global average surface temperature in 2015 is likely to be the warmest on record and to reach the symbolic and significant milestone of 1 Degree Celsius above the pre-industrial era. This is due to a combination of a strong El Nino and human-induced global warming,

The WMO Secretary-General, Michel Jarraud, told reporters today in Geneva “we have broken new records for the concentration of Greenhouse gases as you know. CO2, Methan, Nitrous oxide and a few others, we have broken once again absolute records of that”.

Added to that, there is a powerful El Nino event which is still gaining in strength and is expected to continue into 2016.

A few days before the UN Climate Change Conference will start in Paris, WMO issued its provisional statement on the status of the climate in 2015, and an additional five-year analysis for 2011-2015 to provide scientific information for the upcoming negotiations.

For Michel Jarraud, Secretary-General of WMO, there will be no doubt that ”2015 will be the warmest year on record since we have records. The temperature this year will exceed probably by nearly 3 quarter of a degree the average of the reference period which is 1961 to 1990.”

The ocean is getting warmer and, what is very worrying according to WMO, the temperature has increased in the ocean down to 2000 meter dept.

Secretary-General of WMO said ”as a consequence of the warming of the ocean, also combined with the melting of the glaciers over land and a few other parameters, the level of the ocean keeps on rising, actually the trend, you see probably accelerating and this rise in the level of the ocean has a number of very worrying impact.”

For WMO, there is no time to loose and the UN climate conference would have an important role to bring the climate discussions worldwide in the right direction.

Michel Jarraud said ”yes, there is urgency, because we have already one degree behind us and at the rate the emissions are increasing, there is not much flexibility. But it is still possible to do it provided that there is a strong decision in Paris”.
