Sarote Pruksachat | Moment | Getty ImagesAsia was the most disaster-hit region in the world last year as extreme weather and climate threats intensified amid global warming, according to the World Meteorological Organization, the UN's weather agency. According to a NASA report, increased temperatures are associated with variations in precipitation and increased frequency of both drought and extreme water events. watch nowWhile WMO found that much of Asia suffered from a substantial lack of precipitation in 2023, there were also many extreme weather events associated with heavy rainfall and flooding. The WMO report noted that a lack of rainfall could also have detrimental effects on drinking water sources, agriculture, industry, and hydropower. Authors of the report argued the data confirms the need for early warning systems for extreme weather and more disaster risk reduction to mitigate losses and damage caused by climate change in the future.

GENEVA (AP) — The U.N. weather agency is sounding a “red alert” about global warming, citing record-smashing increases last year in greenhouse gases, land and water temperatures and melting of glaciers and sea ice, and warning that the world's efforts to reverse the trend have been inadequate. “The latest State of the Global Climate report shows a planet on the brink. Fossil fuel pollution is sending climate chaos off the charts.”The latest WMO findings are especially stark when compiled in a single report. WMO said the impact of heatwaves, floods, droughts, wildfires and tropical cyclones, exacerbated by climate change, was felt in lives and livelihoods on every continent in 2023. And so, nothing gets done.”___Borenstein reported from Washington, D.C.___The Associated Press’ climate and environmental coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.

În 6 februarie 2020, la stația Esperanza din Peninsula Antarctică, a fost înregistrată o temperatură de 18,3 grade Celsius, reprezentând o nouă dovadă a intenstificării crizei climatice care acaparează din ce în ce mai mult globul, informează Descopera.ro. „Peninsula Antarctică (vârful de nord – vest, aproape de America de Sud) se numără printre regiunile de pe planetă cu cea mai rapidă încălzire, cu aproape 3 grade Celsius în ultimii 50 de ani. În baza acestor verificări, OMM a respins, de asemenea, o înregistrare de temperatură și mai ridicată, de 20,75 grade Celsius, raportată în 9 februarie 2020 pe insula Seymour. Recordul de temperatură oficial stabilit anterior pentru această parte a Antarcticii a fost de 17,5 ° C, fiind înregistrat în 24 martie 2015, tot la Stația de Cercetare Esperanza. Recordul pentru regiunea Antarcticii, care include toată gheața și pământul la 60 de grade latitudine sudică, este de 19,8 grade Celsius, fiind înregistrat pe Insula Signy în ianuarie 1982.
