According to independent analyzes by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), “Earth’s average temperature in 2021 is increasing day by day, breaking records. According to scientists at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), alarm bells are ringing.
Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA’s leading climate modeling and change research center (GISS), said Earth is giving warning signals, drawing attention to both NOAA’s and NASA’s analyzes. Here are the details…
2021 was the sixth hottest year in Earth’s history
Collectively, the past eight years have been the warmest since modern record keeping began in 1880. These annual temperature data form part of the global temperature record that tells scientists the planet is warming. According to NASA’s temperature record, the Earth was about 1.1 degrees Celsius warmer in 2021 than the average for the late 19th century, the start of the industrial revolution.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson used the following statements about high temperatures:
“Eight of the 10 warmest years on our planet have occurred in the past decade, and this underlines the need for bold action to protect the future of our country and all of humanity. NASA’s scientific research into how the Earth is changing and warming will guide communities around the world to help humanity mitigate the devastating effects of climate. ”
This warming trend of the Earth is due to human activities that increase the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Our planet has been rapidly feeling the effects of global warming lately: Arctic sea ice has broken, sea levels have risen, forest fires have become more severe, and even animal migration patterns have changed.
