GENEVA - AND that was the year most polluted in the past thirty years. The 2013
did record a new record in the presence of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse
gases in the earth's atmosphere while, denounce the United Nations, it is
verifying an acidification 'unprecedented' of the oceans and thus their ability
to absorb the same CO2.
THE UN data were presented in the annual report of the
World Meteorological Organization (WMO). "We know that without any doubt that
our climate is changing, it is becoming increasingly extreme and the cause are
human activities, such as the combustion of coal," said the secretary general of
the WMO, Michel Jarraud, the press release that accompanies the annual report
'Greenhouse Gas'. "The CO2 emissions of the past, those of today and tomorrow
will accumulate and will have a global impact on both overheating and the
acidification of the oceans. The laws of physics are not negotiable," said
Jarraud, "is running out the time". That is running away from us.
Man can still change things. Second Jarraud: "The world has the tools to keep
global warming within 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), as established
by the United Nations in 2010. There is still a possibility for our planet and a
future for our children and grandchildren. But, she warned, "I don't know, do
not realize what is happening, can no longer be an excuse for not taking
action".
