Decade of 'exceptional' heat likely to be hottest on record, experts say
World Meteorological Organization says 2019 is likely to be second or third warmest year ever
The last decade has been one of “exceptional” heat around the world, and was almost certainly the hottest on record, while the oceans have also warmed to record levels and grown markedly more acidic, the World Meteorological Organization has said.
Temperatures for the years from 2010 to 2019 were about 1.1C above the average for the pre-industrial period, showing how close the world is coming to the 1.5C of warming that scientists say will cause dramatic impacts, extreme weather and the loss of vital ecosystems.
The preliminary findings of the State of the Global Climate, an annual publication by the WMO, show that this year is on course to be the second or third warmest since records began.
Over land, the impacts from January to October have included severe droughts, heatwaves and floods across all inhabited continents, and over the seas there have also been heatwaves.
During the past year, the upper levels of the oceans, measured since the 1950s, have exceeded previous records so far this year, and the ocean experienced about 1.5 months of unusually warm temperatures, with large areas of the north-east Pacific showing severe heatwaves. The Arctic sea ice minimum in September was the third smallest on record. The final version of the report will be published in March.

Some of us get dipped in flat , some in satin ,some in gloss . But every once in a while you find someone who's iridescent , and when you do , nothing will ever compare.
有些人平淡无奇，有些人锦衣玉食，有些人光彩照人。但每隔一段时间，你就会遇到一个彩虹般绚丽的人，当你遇到他时，一切都黯然失色。❤

The most beautiful people you'll ever meet aren't always the ones who catch your eyes first. No, the most beautiful are the ones that can never be figured out.
The one you could talk with for many hours and still have a million things to ask. The people who have mind so lovely and special, you can help but fall in love with them...
