'Despite decades of warnings from the scientific community, thousands of pages of reports and dozens of climate conferences, we are still heading in the wrong direction,' WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas said.
'The current level of greenhouse gas concentrations puts us on the pathway of an increase in temperatures well above the Paris Agreement targets,' said Taalas.
While carbon emissions can be cut, Taalas said that once concentrated in the atmosphere, carbon takes thousands of years to be removed, contributing to trends such as the rise in sea levels.
