Earth: Still Hot

 

"The clearest indicator of the climate crisis is heat, and Earth is frickin’ hot. In fact, we just wrapped up the hottest decade in recorded human history. The 2010s saw eight of the planet’s 10 hottest years on record. And last year was a particularly hot one.

On Wednesday, scientists with NASA and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released their annual assessment of global temperatures showing 2019 was the second hottest year since record-keeping began, trailing only to 2016. It comes the same week a new study shows it the oceans were recorded warm last year." ～Dharna Noor @Gizmodo
