UN report sounds alarm on rapid climate breakdown and its deadly consequences.
TL;DR
The United Nations weather agency has released a report stating that 2022 was another year of disastrous and deadly weather and climate extremes around the world, fueled in part by human-caused climate change. The report highlights that Antarctic sea ice fell to its lowest extent on record, ocean heat and acidity levels reached record heights, and the melting of some European glaciers was off the charts. The report also states that current glacier melting and sea-level rise show "we have already lost" on those two key signals of the planet's health.
