9、e likely the hottest decade since scientists began keeping records. In a new report, the World Meteorological Organization, or WMO, blames the rising temperatures mainly on greenhouse gases produced by human activities. “Average temperatures for the five-year, 2015-to-2019 and 10-year, 2010-to-2019
10、periods are almost certain to be the highest on record，” the WMO said. The report predicted that 2019 would become the secondor thirdwarmest year on record. Petteri Taalas is the Secretary-General of the WMO. He says severe heatwaves and floods that used to happen about once every hundred years have
11、 become “regular” events. “Countries ranging from the Bahamas to Japan to Mozambique suffered the effect of destructive tropical cyclones(旋风). Wildfires swept through the Arctic and Australia，” he noted. Taalas said that one of the main effects of climate change is the lack of predictable rainfall.
12、This presents a threat to successful harvests and will likely create food security problems in some countries in the future, he said. The report said climate change was a main driver of a recent increase in world hunger after 10 years of decrease. It estimated that about 820 million people suffered
13、from hunger in 2018 The WMO said that weather disasters have displaced millions of people this year and many had to flee to other places to find shelter. Oceans, which take in an estimated 90 percent of the extra heat produced by greenhouse gases, are now at their highest recorded temperatures. Sea
14、water is also 25 percent more acidic than it was 150 years ago, the report said. This is threatening ocean environments that provide food and jobs for billions of people. Levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reached a record 407.8 parts per million in 2018 and continued to rise in 2019 Experts

But a new study warns that pollution caused by the worlds food production system is also a major driver of rising temperatures on the planet. The study found that if t
21、he world food system stays on its current growth path, it will produce nearly 1.4 trillion metric tons of greenhouse gases over the next 80 years.That pollution is expected to come from fertilizers used in agriculture, mismanaged soil and food waste. Other causes include land-clearing operations and
22、 deforestation(森林采伐). Researchers from the University of Minnesota and the University of Oxford in Britain led the study, which recently appeared in the Publication Science.The researchers predict that even if fossil fuel emissions(排放) were stopped now, emissions from the world food system would mak
23、e it impossible to reach current international climate change targets. They say that emissions from food production alone could push world temperatures past 1.5 degrees Celsius by the middle of this century and above 2 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. A main goal of the 2015 United Nations
24、 Paris Agreement on climate change is to keep rises in the Earths temperature during this century to between 1.5 to 2 degrees Celsius. The UN. has said that in order to stay below the 1.5 Celsius level, emissions must fall at least 7.6 percent each year through 2030The new study calls for immediate
