It may turn out to be one of  the deadliest weather-related disasters to hit the southern  hemisphere.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Idai made landfall over the city of Beira: a rapidly growing,  low-lying city on a coastline vulnerable to storm surges and already  facing the consequences of sea level rise,&rdquo; Taalas said. &ldquo;Idai&rsquo;s victims  personify why we need the global agenda on sustainable development,  climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>At least five cases of cholera have now been confirmed in Beira,  Mozambique, prompting the World Health Organisation to send out 900,000  vaccines. The country&rsquo;s health ministry worries that 2,700 cases of  acute diarrhoea may in fact be symptoms of the disease.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2019\/03\/25\/leaders-told-to-bring-plans-not-speeches-to-un-climate-summit\/\"><strong>Leaders<\/strong> told to bring plans, not speeches to UN climate summit<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cyclone Idai landed amid record greenhouse gas concentrations. When  the first edition of the WMO&rsquo;s annual State of the Climate report was  released in 1994, carbon dioxide levels were at 357 parts per million.  By 2017, they had reached 406 parts per million, with experts expecting  even higher figures for 2018 and 2019.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;These data confirm the urgency of climate action,&rdquo; said UN secretary general Antonio Guterres, urging world leaders to attend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2019\/03\/25\/leaders-told-to-bring-plans-not-speeches-to-un-climate-summit\/\">a summit he has scheduled for September<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"upload\/Medien\/Pressebilder_2019\/EdHawkins_TemperaturAnomalieseit1850.jpg\" alt=\"Ed Hawkins | climatechangenews.com | Temperature anomaly for each year since 1850 is depicted by a single bar\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" \/><br \/>&copy; Ed Hawkins |&nbsp;climatechangenews.com|&nbsp;Temperature anomaly for each year since 1850 is depicted by a single bar<\/p>\n<p>Although it is impossible to attribute a single weather event to  climate change alone, current science is clear that global warming  intensifies certain meteorological phenomena. Warming oceans, for  example, are known to turbocharge tropical storms, while their rainfall  is dictated by the levels of moisture in the atmosphere. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41586-018-0673-2\">Research published in November<\/a> found that climate change had made hurricanes Katrina, Irma and Maria wetter, intensifying rainfall by as much as 10%.<\/p>\n<p>Floods hit more than 35 millions people worldwide in 2018. Drought  has also affected 9 million people, parching swathes of Kenya,  Afghanistan and Central America, along with migration crossroads of El  Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2019\/03\/28\/ngo-ignored-warnings-bullying-boss-tragedy\/\"><strong>NGO<\/strong> ignored warnings about bullying boss, before and after tragedy<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These extremes are worsening hunger, which, according to the WMO, is  rising again after a prolonged decline. In 2017, the number of  undernourished people was estimated to have climbed to 821 million.  Forty countries continue to rely on external assistance for food  supplies, 31 of which are in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Weather instability and food insecurity are, in turn, fuelling  conflicts and migration, the report found. As of September 2018, over 2  million people were forced to flee their homes due to weather and  climate events. Drought, floods and tropical storms were said to have  caused the most displacement in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The report also lamented the vulnerability of refugee camps to  extreme weather including storms. Already traumatised by persecution,  hundreds of thousands of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unhcr.org\/uk\/news\/stories\/2018\/7\/5b34ffb64\/monsoon-rains-highlight-needs-rohingya-refugees.html\">Rohyngya refugees<\/a> suffered second displacements due to raging monsoons.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Thursday, Guterres stressed that there was a &ldquo;very clear  link between climate and security, between climate and stability,  between climate and the wellbeing of populations.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It is clear from the natural disasters, sudden natural disasters,  but especially the slow onset, for example the way droughts are becoming  more frequent,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;These kind of disasters are causing massive  displacement, which will inevitably increase migration flows. At the  same time by impacting on productivity and agriculture it will make  hunger much riskier, and create factors of social instability.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-images\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sonnenseite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/WMO-GlobalClimateReport2018.jpg\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"public.wmo.int\/en\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sonnenseite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/WMO-GlobalClimateReport2018.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.sonnenseite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/WMO-GlobalClimateReport2018-226x300.jpg 226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/div>\n<h5 class=\"green\">Source<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2019\/03\/28\/extreme-weather-impacted-62-million-people-last-year-says-wmo\/?fbclid=IwAR2CXfM-hWGlH6WLw7rJu_uhEmFqFT1shpmxqSJ-AXwROcu6NSJzxyrNgFM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CLIMATE HOME NEWS 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"shariff shariff-align-flex-start shariff-widget-align-flex-start\"><div class=\"ShariffHeadline\">Diese Meldung teilen<\/div><ul class=\"shariff-buttons theme-round orientation-horizontal buttonsize-medium\"><li class=\"shariff-button facebook shariff-nocustomcolor\" style=\"background-color:#4273c8;border-radius:1%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sonnenseite.com%2Fen%2Fenvironment%2Fextreme-weather-impacted-62-million-people-last-year-says-wmo%2F\" title=\"Bei Facebook teilen\" aria-label=\"Bei Facebook teilen\" role=\"button\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"shariff-link\" style=\";border-radius:1%;
