NASA and NOAA scientists say that 2012 global temperature records to further consolidate trend of global warming
2012 was among the 10 warmest years ever recorded, over the long-term average for the 36th consecutive year, according to data released Tuesday.
temperature records collected separately by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) found land surface temperatures increased 1.03F above the long term average last year, but not match the American record heat. The average global temperature has increased by about 1.4f since 1880.
by NASA records, making 2012 the warmest year on record globally ninth. NOAA data set placed on the warmest year of 10 ?. Agencies use different methods to analyze the data.
In both instances, the scientists of 2012 global temperature records further consolidation of a pattern of global warming. Each year, the 21st century has been the warmest 14 since record keeping began in 1880.
"A year of numbers is not in itself significant," said NASA climatologist Gavin Schmidt. "What matters is that this decade is warmer than the past decade, and the decade was warmer than the previous decade. The planet warms. Warm The reason is because they are injecting increasing amounts of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. "
With more than 36 years the average temperature, anyone born since 1976 has been a year colder than average.
Scientists"The planet is out of balance, and therefore, we can confidently predict that the next decade will be warmer," said James Hansen, a climatologist at NASA.
