The warming experienced in the last ten years take their toll on the Natural World

scientists say that the average temperatures from the period 2010-2019 appearance, so it is the warmest decade since records began.

Preliminary figures released by The World Meteorological organization (WMO), according to this year is on course to be the second or third warmest year ever.

If these numbers hold, 2015-2019 would land, that the warmest five-year period in the record.

The "driven, exceptionally," global heat, says due to greenhouse gas emissions, the WMO.

The organization of the state of the Global climate report for 2019, which covers the years up to October, when the global mean temperature for the period 1. 1 ° C above the baseline level in the year 1850.

in Many parts of The World , unusual levels of heat this year. South America , Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania were warmer than the current average, while many parts of North America were colder than usual.

The effects of Climate Change through the extreme and "abnormal" weather

Two major heat waves hit Europe in June and July of this year, with a new national record of 46C in France, set on 28 June.

New national records were also in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom. In Australia, the average temperature in summer was the highest on record, nearly one degree.

Wildfire activity in South America this year was the highest since 2010.

The WMO significantly to the left of the record-breaking temperatures of The Past decade, current emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities, such as driving a car, cutting down of forests and the burning of coal for energy production.

In the year 2018, the concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, and Nitrous Oxide reached new record highs.

The WMO says the warming experienced in the last ten years take their toll on the Natural World . The ice is melting at the two poles and the Sea Level rise has accelerated since the beginning of satellite measurements in 1993.

Much of The Heat , go by the greenhouse gas emissions in the oceans, says the WMO. The water in the acid range as a result of and marine heat waves are becoming more frequent.

As well as to violate nature, the increased heat is also, to the people, with heat waves pose a particular hazard for older people.

events are Once in a century-more and more often, says the WMO with the Secretary-General

"On a day-to-day basis, the effects of Climate Change through the extreme and 'abnormal' weather. And again in the year 2019, weather-and climate-related risks to hit hard," said the WMO Secretary General Petteri Taalas .

"heat waves and floods, which used to be" Once in a century " events are becoming more regular occurrences. Countries ranging from The Bahamas to Japan to Mozambique, suffered the effects of devastating tropical cyclones. Forest fires swept across The Arctic and Australia," Mr Taalas continue.

Since the 1980s, each of the successive decades was warmer than The One that preceded.

Other scientists reacted to the publication of The Report with concern.

"It is shocking how much Climate Change in the year 2019 has already led to lost life, poor health, food insecurity and displaced population," said Dr. Joanna house, of the University of Bristol .

"Even as climate scientists who know The Evidence and the projections, I find this deeply hurtful. What is even more shocking is how long, very little was done about this. We have The Information , The Solutions , what we need now, there is a need to act. "

The Report was released at the global climate talks held in Madrid. The negotiators have started here, Two Weeks of talks, the improvement of The World is committed to cutting carbon.

Some of the participants of the conference to say that the WMO will help The Report would focus on dealing with the causes of Climate Change .

"Now we know that the global temperatures rise to record levels, and without measures, we can expect more climate suffering. It is vital that said, we substances the phase-out fossil fuels as quickly as possible," Dr. Kat Kramer by Christian Aid .

"The Good news is, this is a timely wake-up call at the beginning of the COP25 climate summit in Madrid. The delegates have no excuse to block progress, or drag your feet when the science shows how urgently action is needed. "
