Ending of 2020 and the Rising of Temperature of the World:

As you know that 2020 comes to an end, it left many changes in our environment. It leaves in its wake the warmest era on record and one of the 3 hottest years ever measured. It was recorded by the United Nations Weather Agency[1].

Despite a freezing La Nina occasion, 2020 has a year of exceptional heat that is now mature. It is now impacting weather patterns in many parts of the world. The report was made by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) on Friday[1].

“Record warm years have usually coincided with a strong El Niño event, as was the case in 2016”. The World Metrological Organization (WMO) chief Petteri Taalas said in a statement[1].

Tuvalu, an archipelago of nine atolls in the South Pacific Ocean, where the average height of the islands is less than 2 meters above sea level. It is highly susceptible to the effects of global warming. But he noted that “We are now experiencing a La Nina. It has a cooling effect on the global temperatures but has not sufficient to put a brake on this year’s heat. [1]”

“Despite the current La Nina conditions, this year has already shown near-record heat comparable to the previous record of 2016”. The World Metrological Organization said officially[1].

This Year in Top Three:

The World Metrological Organization has also made a document of the last six years as the warmest[1].

In January, the United Nations agency will issue consolidated temperature figures for 2020. The temperature will issue in March and will include information on the selected climate impacts. To date, five data sets for the first 10 months of 2020 have placed this year as the 2nd warmest for the year, following and ahead of 2019[1].

It was based on the monthly reports from the European Unions’ Copernicus Climate Change Service. The United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA’s Goddard Institute for the Space Studies. The Japan Metrological Agency, November has classified as either the warmest or the second warmest on record[1].

The difference between the warmest three years is small and exact rankings for each data set could change. One data for the entire are available, according to the World Metrological Organization[1].

A Harmful Trend:

The ranking temperatures for the individual’s years is less important than the long-term trends, the United Nations Agency explained about it. In the meantime, the 1980s each decade has warmer than the previous one. Because of the record levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the trend is expected to persist[1].

In particular, carbon dioxide is driving the planet to future warming because it remains in the atmosphere for many decades. According to the World Metrological Organization’s Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update. There is only one in five chance that the average global temperature will exceed 1.5°C through 2024[1].

Conclusion:

The conclusion is that the temperature will rise after 2024 because of climate-changing. The changing climate affects humans, animals, and other ocean livings. Floods came through the melting of the ice and this melting became a danger for human life and the coming lives of humans and other creatures. We should grow more plants and trees so that our environment becomes green and safe. Humans can do everything possible, so the change in environment is possible if we cooperate with our environment.
