According to AFP news agency, WMO said the sea level rose to a record high in March 2013. The current sea level rise is 3.2 mm / year, double the 1.6mm / year of the 20th century. 'Rising sea level makes coastal areas more vulnerable to big waves caused by the storm. We have seen this with our own eyes from the hurricane disaster in the Philippines' - WMO said.

Meteorological experts have not yet explained the relationship between climate change and tropical storms. However, many experts predict that tropical storms will become more and more intense and frequent as a result of global warming.

WMO said that in 2012 the rate of accumulation of greenhouse gas emissions in the air increased to a record 393.1ppm, 2.2ppm higher than in 2011 and increased 41% since 1750, the period of public revolution career begins.

'We expect this rate to reach an unprecedented level in 2013, which means that the climate future will get warmer' - WMO stressed. Currently, the global soil and sea surface temperature is 0.48 degrees C higher than that of the 1961-1990 period.
