Effects of climate change

World governments must prepare for even more extreme weather and record temperatures in the coming months. This was warned by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the United Nations agency for weather, climate and water resources, declaring the beginning of the warming phenomenon known as El Niño.

This is why UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said that "climate change is out of control".
"If we persist in delaying the key measures that are needed, I think we are entering a catastrophic situation, as shown by the last two temperature records," Guterres said, referring to the world temperature records broken on Monday and Tuesday.

An expert has raised concerns over a three-week shift in the seasons that he says is brought about by climate change, fearing that it can negatively impact crop yield and harvest.

Researchers found that even nations not involved in the dispute would suffer crop failures and plummeting temperatures

If global warming continues at this rate, all glaciers on Türkiye's mountains will definitely melt, says Yıldırım Güngör, an associate professor from Istanbul University.

Scientists have long been warning that extreme weather would cause calamity in the future. But in South America, which in just the last month has had deadly landslides in Brazil, wildfire in Argentine wetlands and flooding in the Amazon so severe it ruined harvests, that future is already here.

Deadly with extreme weather now, climate change is about to get so much worse. It is likely going to make the world sicker, hungrier, poorer, gloomier and way more dangerous in the next 18 years with an "unavoidable" increase in risks, a new United Nations science report says.

And after that watch out.

The highest glacier on the world's tallest mountain is losing decades worth of ice every year because of human-induced climate change, a new study shows.

In a surprising event, grouper, an endangered marine species rarely observed in its prime habitat areas such as the Mediterranean Sea, has been spotted off Turkey's Black Sea coast for the very first time.

Helping vulnerable nations cope with the multiplier effect of climate change on droughts, flooding, heatwaves and tropical mega-storms will require trillions of dollars, not the billions now on the table at COP26, a draft U.N. report obtained by AFP reveals.
