A new report from the World Meteorological Organization has found that four key climate change indicators set new records in 2021.


According to W-M-O this is another clear sign that human activities are causing planetary-scale changes on land, at sea, and in the atmosphere, with dangerous and long-lasting consequences for sustainable development and ecosystems.
