Greenhouse gas concentrations, sea level rise, ocean heat and ocean acidification all set new records last year, the UN’s World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said in its State of the Global Climate in 2021 report.
The annual overview is “a dismal litany of humanity’s failure to tackle climate disruption”, UN Chief Antonio Guterres said.
