..."The NOAA report also found that Antarctica endured its warmest September to date, contributing to record low sea ice. And the report found that ocean surface temperatures were unusually high. The warmer oceans helped fuel more intense storms from New York City to Libya, where dam failures caused thousands of deaths.
Ultimately, these numbers have proved shocking to many, even climate scientists like Bernadette Woods Placky, chief meteorologist at Climate Central, who wasn't involved in the research. "Geez, these numbers. Whew," she said as she looked at the report.
"A report like this really screams the urgency for advancing our climate actions," Woods Placky says, noting that some key ways to reduce emissions include shifting from fossil fuels to renewable energy and changing how communities manage land.
"We've got some amazing climate solutions that already exist and some great people working on this around the globe," she says, "But we just need to do it faster, and we need to do it bigger."
