The last four years have been the hottest in modern history
Source:
That global warming can cause , has long been known. Unfortunately, many people do not realize the seriousness of the problem, as climate changes occur so slowly that without a comparison of the temperature indicators of various years to notice them is almost impossible. Recently, several organizations shared sobering statistics, over the past 100 years Earth's average temperature has increased markedly, and the last five years have been the hottest in modern history.
Almost the same observations shared by several organizations: NASA, the world meteorological station and the National oceanic and atmospheric administration (NOAA). Instrumental temperature measurements began in 1880, and if we compare the figures of those times with the current, over time the planet became hotter by 1 degree Celsius. The five hottest years came in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.
Temperature records belong to Europe, New Zealand and even Russia. Fever, of course, can be traced on the surface of the water — craft seen in the South Pacific and in the Atlantic. Besides the fact that the planet gets hotter, it rises sea levels, and also raises the oxidation of water and the melting of glaciers.
All this information is collected 6300 meteorological stations located around the world. The researchers also take into account the testimony of the Antarctic stations and ships, which measures the temperature of the water. Recently, scientists became aware that an indicator of the onset of global warming may be to the end of the 21st century, they can become more green and blue hue.
