LONDON: Last year the sixth year was the hottest on the record, causing extreme weather events around the world and adding evidence to support the long-term warming of the Globe, according to the analysis on Thursday by two US government institutions.
Data compiled by the OCEANIC and US National Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and NASA also revealed that the last eight of the hottest and the last decade was the warmest since the maintenance of records began in 1880, officials said.
Global warming is “very real.
Now, and has an impact on real people,” said Gavin Schmidt, Director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said in an interview.
Last year’s extreme heat waves at the US Pacific Northwest, intense rain of Ida storms and floods in Germany and China related to global warming, he said.

The main indicators of climate change, the heat content of the world of the world, reaching a record level in 2021, said agency.
The ocean absorbs more than 90% of excess heat trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere by greenhouse gases, and warmer waters affect the weather patterns and changes in currents.
“What is scientific interesting about that tells us why the planet warms up,” Schmidt said.
“Heating because of our impact on the concentration of greenhouse gases.” According to NOAA, 2021 the average temperature is 1.51 degrees Fahrenheit (0.84 Celsius) above the 20th century average, placing it right in front of 2018.
NASA analysis, which uses an early 30-year period, shows 2021 bound temperatures With 2018 as the six warmed years.
The biggest warming occurs in the northern hemisphere, both on land and in the Arctic.
The North Pole warms more than three times faster than the global average, said agency.
In the overview of the report earlier this week, NOAA said last year was the most warmer record for the United States.
