United Press International: The World Meteorological Association (WMO) announced Monday that the average monthly concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the northern hemisphere exceeded 400 parts per million (ppm) in April, the highest monthly average on record. A press release from the United Nations' weather agency says crossing the "threshold is of symbolic and scientific significance and reinforces evidence that the burning of fossil fuels and other human activities are responsible for the continuing increase in heat-trapping...

WMO: El Nino could cause dramatic rise in temperatures
2014-04-16 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RTCC: There are growing signs the weather phenomenon known as El Nio could develop this year, causing global temperatures to soar, the UNs World Meteorological Organisation has warned. In a statement the WMO said: Temperatures below the surface of the tropical Pacific have warmed to levels that can occur prior to the onset of an El Nino event, while climate models surveyed by WMO experts show a steady warming of the tropical Pacific during the months ahead. El Nio is one of the most potent weather...

Global warming not stopped, will go on for centuries - WMO

Reuters: There has been no reverse in the trend of global warming and there is still consistent evidence for man-made climate change, the head of the U.N. World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) said on Monday. A slow-down in the average pace of warming at the planet's surface this century has been cited by "climate sceptics" as evidence that climate change is not happening at the potentially catastrophic rate predicted by a U.N. panel of scientists. But U.N. weather agency chief Michel Jarraud said...

Reuters: This year is the seventh warmest since records began in 1850 and rising sea levels caused by climate change are aggravating the impact of storms such as Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said on Wednesday. More greenhouse gases in the atmosphere meant a warmer future, and more extreme weather, was inevitable, WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud said in a statement during November 11-22 climate talks among almost 200 nations in Warsaw. The WMO said...

Climate News Network: In the first decade of this century global sea level rise increased at about double the rate of the preceding hundred years, the World Meteorological Organization says. London, 3 July -- If you think the world is warming and the weather getting nastier, you`re right, according to the United Nations agency committed to understanding weather and climate. The World Meteorological Organization says the planet "experienced unprecedented high-impact climate extremes" in the ten years from 2001 to...
