According to Roman Vilfand, scientific director of the Russian Hydrometeorological Center, this year will be the warmest year in the world since the beginning of meteorological observations. writes about this TASS.
As Vilfand said, this phenomenon is explained by both anthropogenic and natural factors. Data from the World Meteorological Organization confirms that November, December and the entire current year will reach record high temperatures.
Vilfand identified two main factors influencing this phenomenon: increasing concentrations of gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect and increasing temperatures in the Pacific Ocean.
The analysis showed that the concentration of climate-active gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and methane continues to increase. This poses a serious threat due to the combination of rising temperatures in the equatorial region of the Pacific Ocean, known as El Nino, and has a global impact on climate worldwide.
The meteorologist also notes that El Niño will likely continue until spring 2024. This shows that next year will not be cold either.
Before that, Australian environmental scientists from Western Sydney University studied talent Trees capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, taking into account new knowledge about plant physiology. They concluded that forests have greater potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions than previously thought.
Previously at the UN warned He said that sand and dust storms are increasing around the world.
