Indeed, the scientific measurements showed that November 2016 was the warmest since 1880 when records began meteorological data, leaving in second place in January 2007.
Also, this year February was the fourth month in a row that the temperature of the Earth was formed one degree Celsius above normal levels.
It was the ninth continuous month who broke the monthly record for global temperature, according to NOAA.
Obviously, this is an unusually warm winter, in particular, for the northern hemisphere with the average global temperature on land and at sea (13 degrees Celsius) is 1.04 degrees Fahrenheit above the average of the 20th century.
Scientists consider it very likely that the 2016 defy the consecutive record of 2014 and 2015 at the level of the average temperature.
—What does the NASA
The same conclusions concludes and the Institute for Space Studies NASA Goddard, which is a record of different temperatures: January was actually the hottest in meteorological history, with the temperature reaching the 1,13 degrees Celsius above the average of the previous century. It was preceded by the December 2015, which were 1.11 degrees above ‘normal ‘ (average over time).
According to NASA, the year January to continue a “streak” 371 consecutive months with average temperatures above the average. The last of February, which had a temperature of lower than the time-average was that of the distant 1976.
—Shrunk the sea ice of the Arctic
This year’s March will go down in history for another negative record, the smallest extent of sea ice in the Arctic: only 13,5 million square kilometres, a million. sq. km. km less than the timeless average, according to the National Data Center of Snow and Ice of the united states.
The head of NASA climatologist, Gavin Schmidt yielded the temperature-record of January 2016, mainly in anthropogenic climate change, with the contribution of the phenomenon El Niño in the Pacific ocean this year is particularly intense.
