世界气象组织(气象组织)报告说,太平洋海平面的上升速度快于全球平均水平,对该区域低地岛屿国家构成重大威胁。 The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) reports that sea levels are rising faster in the Pacific Ocean than the global average, posing a significant threat to low-lying island states in the region. 太平洋加速上升的原因是气候变化,化石燃料燃烧融化的冰盖和温暖的海洋导致气温升高,导致水分子膨胀。 The accelerated rise in the Pacific is attributed to climate change, with higher temperatures caused by fossil fuel burning melting ice sheets and warmer oceans causing water molecules to expand. 海平面的这种迅速上升加剧了该区域的沿海洪灾,1980年以来,特别是库克群岛和法属波利尼西亚等岛屿的洪灾激增。 This rapid increase in sea levels has intensified coastal flooding in the region, with instances surging since 1980, particularly in islands such as the Cook Islands and French Polynesia. 海平面上升的影响对太平洋岛屿的影响尤为严重,因为它们的平均海拔仅高于海平面一至两米。 The impact of rising sea levels is particularly concerning for Pacific islands, as their average elevation is only one to two meters above sea level.
