2023 Warmest on Record: A Year of Unprecedented Records
2023 has shattered climate records, accompanied by extreme weather which has left a trail of devastation and despair, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Breaking climate records and leaving a lasting imprint of extreme weather devastation, the provisional State of the Global Climate report forewarns that 2023 is destined to be the warmest on record, with a staggering 1.40 degrees Celsius increase above the pre-industrial baseline.
Increasing Frequency of Sand and Dust Storms Poses Global Threat
Sand and dust storms, a once-underappreciated problem, are now becoming "dramatically" more frequent in various regions worldwide, warns the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). The UNCCD experts attribute at least 25% of this phenomenon to human activities. The severity of the issue is underscored by the fact that two billion tons of sand and dust, equivalent to the weight of 350 Great Pyramids of Giza, enter the atmosphere annually.
