The current decade (2010-2019) is expected to be the hottest on record, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Global temperatures in the first 10 months of the year exceeded the average for the pre-industrial era (1850-1900) by 1.1°C. The data released also predicts that 2019 will be the “second or third hottest year” since 1850, when systematic records began to be kept.
“We are nowhere near on track to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement,” WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas said at the 25th Climate Change Summit (COP25) in Madrid. “If we do not take urgent climate action now, we are heading for a temperature rise of more than three degrees by the end of the century.”
