“Our children and grandchildren will look back on the climate deniers and ask how they could have sacrificed the planet for the sake of cheap fossil fuel energy, when the cost of inaction exceeds the cost of a transition to a low-carbon economy,” Watson said. The world’s climate has entered “truly uncharted territory” as a result of last year ’s record high temperatures continuing into last year , according to WMO (WMO). A report from the the World Meteorological Organisation published on 21 March drew attention to the unprecedented heat experienced across the globe, as well as low ice at both poles and rising sea levels. The document explained that the heightened risks of climate change-related extreme weather events can increasingly be calculated. As a result of such changes, Asia heatwaves are tens of times more likely, whilst the high temperatures seen in UK this year are twice as likely.
