Climate change: the Last ten years, and confirmed as warmest on record

Feb 16,2020 6:29 am

The 10 years until the end of 2019, it was confirmed, the warmest decade since the beginning of the recording of the three global agencies.

According to Nasa, Noaa and the UK Met Office , last year, the second warmest in a record Dating back to 1850.

The Last five years, the hottest in the 170-year series, with the average of More Than 1C warmer than before industrialisation.

The Met Office says that by 2020, this warming trend is likely.

in 2016, the warmest year on record, when temperatures are raised by the El Niño Weather phenomenon.

the Present data does not come as a big surprise, with The World Meteorological organization (WMO) indicated that 2019 is probably the end of the warmest decade mark since records began.

The Met Office , which is involved in the production of the HadCRUT4 temperature data, says that 2019 was 1. 05C above the average for the period of 1850-1900.

Last year there was two major heat waves in Europe to beat in June and July, with a new national record of 46C in France, set on 28 June. New records were also in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom with 38. 7C.

In Australia, the average temperature in summer was the highest on record, nearly one degree.

rise As the temperatures continue to fluctuate, the efforts to contain the heating gases, More Than the science collides with policy.

the UK to reduce, for example, has fought hard to host the annual UN climate conference at the end of the year, where all the Nations are urged in the direction of lower emissions.

Boris Johnson says he wants to lead the Kingdom to The World on Climate Change .

But in The First test of his new administration, which he accused of already, the task of its principles.

He promises to consider cutting the £13 Tax on all flights in the UK, because the activities and connections are on the game.

This is in contradiction to its public consultation by the Climate Change Committee, which says that people need to fly less, so that the cost of flying should go up, not down.

This kind of unpleasant trade-off cause ruffles to The World in the coming decades, Climate Change poses a growing challenge for the policy-as-usual.

While The Other three research institutions, all have slightly different figures for The Last 12 months, the WMO has undertaken, an analysis that uses additional data from the Copernicus Climate Change service and the Japan Meteorological Agency.

you have come to the conclusion that in the year 2019, The World war 1. 1C warmer than in pre-industrial time.

Nasa graphic shows the differences between 2019 global temperatures and the long-term average,

"Our common, global temperature figures agree that 2019 will close The Other years starting in 2015, The Five warmest years on record," said Dr. Colin Morice, from the Met Office Hadley Centre.

"Each decade starting in the 1980s, successively warmer than all preceding decades. In 2019, the warmest 'cardinal' - decade (the spanning years ending in 0-9) ends up in the records until in the middle of the 19th century. "

researchers say that the carbon dioxide emissions from human activities are the main cause for the continuing temperature rise in The Last few years.

"carbon dioxide levels are the highest we have ever recorded in our atmosphere, and there is a clear connection between the amount of CO2 and the temperature," said Prof Liz Bentley of The Royal Meteorological Society.

"We are seeing the highest global temperatures in The Last ten years, and we will see more of that. To grow the CO2 more, we will see that global temperatures are rising. "

With the long-term data from three different agencies using different methods gives you the confidence in the accuracy of your Results .

"While we know that human activities are causing to warm the globe, it is important to measure, this warming is said as accurately as possible," Prof Tim Osborn of the University of East Anglia 's Climate Research Unit, which is in the collection of the data.

"We are confident that The World the of about 1C since the late nineteenth century, because of different methods of the development of the global temperature to give very similar Results heated. "

While the published figures from the Met Office , the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) and Nasa show the temperature recorded on The Land and sea surfaces, the warming in the deeper ocean is also at a record level.

data released This Week showed that a record amount of heat went into the oceans in The Past year. This was the largest increase in The Last ten years.

While natural variability does not mean that scientists expect that new temperature records in the year-forecast on-year, the Met Office , that 2020 will be very hot, with the average global temperature of 1 estimated. 1C above pre-industrial levels. This suggests it will be a warmer year than The One just passed.
