Updated 6:11 PM EDT, March 19, 2024GENEVA (AP) — "The U.N. weather agency is sounding a 'red alert' about global warming, citing record-smashing increases last year in #GreenhouseGases, land and water temperatures and melting of glaciers and sea ice, and is warning that the world’s efforts to reverse the trend have been inadequate.
"The World Meteorological Organization said there is a 'high probability' that 2024 will be another record-hot year.
"The Geneva-based agency, in a 'State of the Global Climate' report released Tuesday, ratcheted up concerns that a much-vaunted climate goal is increasingly in jeopardy: That the world can unite to limit planetary warming to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) from #preindustrial levels."
