Arctic Temperature Rise Inevitable
< Back to News
According to findings presented Wednesday at the United Nations Environment Assembly, dangerous temperature rises in the Arctic are inevitable even if the goals set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement are achieved. Melting permafrost in the Arctic releases methane into the atmosphere.

研究发现，即便各国达成《巴黎协议》的承诺，北极温度的持续上升也已成必然。
这份研究周三发表于在奈洛比举行的联合国环境大会上，报告中指出，截至2050年，北极的温度可能比前工业时期时再高出摄氏3至5度。
此外，报告中也表示，即使全球立即停止二氧化碳的排放，北极在本世纪结束前仍会暖化超过摄氏5度。
温度持续上升将导致冰层和永久冻土的快速溶化，造成海平面上升。
而海水温度不断攀升也将加剧南北极的变化，进而冲击全球天候系统。
科学家提出警告，北极暖化可能将气候逼至「临界点」，导致暖化机制失控。
北极的永久冻土融化时，会释放甲烷，一种强大的温室气体，到大气层中。
每天，这些甲烷和二氧化碳的排放都会不断进到大气层里。
在环境大会上，研究者表示，各国必须达成甚至超越2015年《巴黎协议》通过的目标，才能在往后的十年内，减缓全球暖化所引发最糟糕的影响。

Research has found that rising Arctic temperatures are inevitable even if the goals of the Paris Agreement are met.
Findings presented Wednesday at the United Nations Environment Assembly in Nairobi indicate that temperatures at the north pole are likely to rise between 3°C and 5°C above pre-industrial levels by 2050.
Additionally, the research suggests that even if all carbon emissions are halted immediately, the Arctic region will still warm by more than 5°C by the century’s end.
Increasing temperatures will lead to rapid melting of ice and permafrost, causing sea levels to rise.
Ongoing buildup of heat in the oceans will lead to further changes at the poles, impacting global weather systems.
Scientists warn that Arctic heating may trigger a climate “tipping point,” which could create a runaway warming effect.
As the Arctic permafrost melts, it releases methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.
These methane emissions add to the carbon dioxide poured into the atmosphere daily.
Presenters at the assembly argued that the 2015 Paris Agreement goals must be met and exceeded to mitigate the worst effects of global warming in the coming decades.
