GREENHOUSE GASES : LEVELS HIGHEST


GENEVA : The levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the main driver of  climate change,  have hit a  new record high, the UN said on Thursday .warning  that time to act was running out.

Ahead of the GOP 24 climate summit in Poland next month, top United National officials are again trying to raise the pressure on governments to meet the pledge of limiting warming to the less than two degrees Celsius, enshrined in the 2015  Paris accord.

''Without rapid cuts in CO2 and other greenhouse gases, climate change will have increasingly destructive and irreversible impacts on life on Earth,'' the head of the World Meteorological  Organisation Petteri Taalas said in a statement. [AP]
