2024考研英语同源外刊:世界刚刚没通过年度健康检查

Droughts, floods and record low ice levels – from the top of the world’s mountains to the depths of the ocean, the climate crisis took a heavy toll as it continued to intensify in 2022. new analysis from the World Meteorological Organization shows. The WMO’s annual State of the Climate Report, published Friday ahead of Earth Day, is essentially a health checkup for the world. It analyzes a series of global climate indicators – including levels of planet-heating pollution, sea level rise and ocean heat – to understand how the planet is responding to climate change and the impact it is having on people and nature.

世界气象组织分析显示，从世界之巅到海洋深处，从干旱、洪水到创纪录的低冰位，气候危机在2022年继续加剧，造成了沉重的代价。世界气象组织的年度气候状况报告于周五在地球日之前发布，这份报告本质上是对世界的一次健康检查。它分析了一系列全球气候指标——包括使地球变暖的污染水平、海平面上升和海洋温度——以了解地球如何应对气候变化及其对人类和自然的影响。

A slew of climate records were broken, many of which have been, or are on course to be, broken again this year: 1. Oceans reached record high temperatures, with nearly 60% experiencing at least one marine heatwave. 2. Global sea levels climbed to the highest on record due to melting glaciers and warming oceans, which expand as they heat up. 3. Antarctica’s sea ice dropped to 1.92 million square kilometers in February 2022. at the time the lowest level on record (the record was broken again this year). 4. The European Alps saw a record year for glacier melt, with Switzerland particularly badly affected, losing 6% of its glacier volume between 2021 and 2022. 5. Levels of planet warming pollution, including methane and carbon dioxide, reached record highs in 2021. the latest year for which there is global data.

一系列气候记录被打破，其中许多记录今年已经或即将被再次打破。1. 海洋温度创下历史记录，近60%的海洋经历了至少一次海洋热浪。2. 由于冰川融化和海洋变暖，全球海平面攀升至有记录以来的水平，海平面随着海洋温度升高而上升。3. 南极洲的海冰在2022年2月下降到192万平方公里，是有记录以来的较低水平(该项记录在今年被再次打破)。4. 欧洲阿尔卑斯山见证了冰川融化创纪录的一年，瑞士受到的影响尤为严重，在2021年至2022年期间，其冰川量减少了6%。5. 包括甲烷和二氧化碳在内的温室气体污染水平在2021年达到了历史记录，这是有全球数据的较近一年。

These broad climate indicators are an important reflection of the state of the planet, the report noted, but extreme weather events – fueled by climate change – are where the immediate effects are most felt.

报告指出，这些广泛的气候指标是地球状况的重要反映，但由气候变化引发的极端天气事件是较能直接感受到影响的地方。
