the world meteorological organization in geneva backed up gutierrez's call for action. 2020 is likelyo be onef the three warmest years on record globally. the agency said on wednesday the average world temperature between january and october was 1.2 degrees celsius higher than preindustrial levels. it highlighted how 2020 has been exceptionally warm in siberia with temperatures 5 degrees higher in places. it added siberia's june temperatures hit 38 degrees whhe highest known temperature anywhere north of the arctic circle. >>> former french president who championed european integration has died after contracting the coronavirus. he was 94. he was elected president in 1974 at the age of 48. while in office he proposed that the leaders of the six major world economies meet to deepen policy coordination in the we of the oil crisis. hinitiativ lohe g7 andh g 8 summits toiscuss inteatiol allenges. alsoorked onrerms suc easing divce nditns. and heeft office after one term when he lost to socialist party leader in the 1981 presidential election. he was known as a proponent of european integr

report and also the report from the world meteorological organization and basically they said that 2020 is set to be one of the woman ever on record in the top 3 maybe even the 2nd warmest temperatures have been about $1.00 degrees over pre-industrial levels this year which is significant if you consider that parse agreement wants to talk temperature levels at a 2 degree rice $1.00 degrees if it were possible so it's well on the way towards that. the report from the w.m.o. also highlighted that oceans have increased in temperature which has led to obviously sea level rises which we've seen there have also been the events that we've seen all over the world with regards to wildfires being more intense heaviest storms and flooding as a result. and also a record breaking atlantica hurrican season has been difficult 22 weeks is going by what you've just outlined that is it was so surprising you think there'd be lower emissions this year because obviously we're going through this covert pandemic flying i mean in terms of aviation there's not that many flights so why are we not seeing lower em

the world meteorological organization says temperatures on the antarctic peninsula have risen by almost0 years. meanwhile, in the arctic, more worrying data in 2020, with the second lowest extent of summer sea ice since satellite monitoring began over 40 years ago. followed by a record late start to its annual refreeze. but if news of heat records sounds familiar, they came in a year that because of covid lockdowns, we saw a record drop in carbon emissions — the very thing which is blamed for playing a major role in causing temperatures to warm. we can talk now to dr emily shugborough, cambridge university's chief climate scientist. emily, we spoke on this programme at the end of 2019, actually, about carbon emissions, and it seemed impossible that we would get a drop, but that is what has happened in 2020, but put it into context for me, how significant and sustainable is that? well, it is probably no surprise that as a consequence of the global lockdowns that we have seen around the world, emissions are likely to be somewhat lower this year, may be about 7% lower. but that is emission

and so lower patterson is from the world meteorological organization that w. and a lot was talking about. this idea of having better early warning systems for our extreme weather. and this is what she wanted to show. some of this and weather and climate disasters are increasing in frequency and intensity as a result of climate change and it's often vulnerable communities that are most disproportionately affected. the debian was 2025, it's actually support highlights that despite this only one in 3 people globally are covered by our anyone systems. and there's a global, insufficient capacity to translate early warning into any action. and to support this, that every move recommends moving towards an impact based marketing approach, which is not part casting just what the weather will be for forecasting what the weather will do. to help action to be taken on the ground to prevent the worst impact of these events i had as well as something that in this region we join a lot of work around. we use in multiple different ways of science and technology from oceanic oc
