GENEVA – Greenhouse gases have reached its highest level since pre-industrial times, some meteorologists warned, Monday (23/11). World Meteorological Organization (WMO), in Geneva, announced, 2008 is the highest increases in greenhouse gases since 1998.

"We want all the decisions are not based on the rumors but the reality, so this is where all the facts," said Michel Jarraud, Secretary General of WMO, which refers to the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December.
WMO Greenhouse Gas Bulletin showing, until 2008, the ratio of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, respectively increased by 38 percent, 157 percent, and 19 percent since pre-industrial period before 1750. "What is the meaning of this increase is :Kyoto is not enough," Jarraud said, "but without Kyoto, it will be even worse".

Bulletin revealed that the concentration of Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) rise, thanks to the Montreal Protocol on Materials Damage Ozone Layer, which entered into force in 1989, although other gases, halogens, increased rapidly. "What I know is : we can not give up. We must make every effort to achieve the best possible agreement reached in Copenhagen. It’s important to commit. It is important to reduce the amount of climate change. The longer we delay the decision, the greater the impact," said Jarraud .

WMO, through the Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) program, coordinate supervision on greenhouse gases in the atmosphere through a network of 200 stations in more than 50 countries. WMO was established in 1950. The organization has 188 member countries and is headquartered in Geneva.
