The @WMO #StateoftheClimate report published today, highlights further evidence of the physical signs of climate change. Our #infographic shows increasing global temperature and ocean heat , rising sea levels , melting ice as well as increases in CO2
1/ Key global temperature data sets from @NOAA @NASAGISS @JMA_kishou @ECMWF @MetOffice, reinforce that 2015-2019 were the five warmest years since 1850 says @WMO #StateoftheClimate report
4/ Warming #oceans & #ice loss contribute to global #sealevelrise. Since the start of the satellite record (1993) observations indicate that the global level has been rising at an average rate of 3.25mm per year
2/ Data from #WDCGG shows levels of greenhouse gases reached record levels in 2018 with #carbondioxide rising to 407.8ppm as highlighted in the @WMO #StateoftheClimate report
3/ The #ocean takes up 90% of energy trapped in the Earth system by greenhouse gases - this is measured by #oceanheatcontent. Three key data sets document how this has been rising since 1955 @WMO #StateoftheClimate report
5/ The decreasing trend in #Antarctic sea-ice extent continued in 2019, according to @NSIDC data with several record low months and the 7th lowest annual minimum extent on record
