The planet’s temperature continues to rise. This is demonstrated by preliminary data released by NASA, indicating a higher temperature in degrees Celsius 0.93 compared to the period from 1951 to 1980.
This addition would be the seventh consecutive month the rise in global temperature breaks the previous record.
While you still have to confirm the data from other agencies such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA for its acronym in English), everything seems to expect the month of May 2016 will be the warmest since 1880, when they began to be measured temperatures.
if this continues, 2016 could be the warmest in recent history year record occupying 2015, although rising temperatures seems to have moderated with the end of the season El Niño.
According to author of the study, increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere due to human activity, although the phenomenon of El Niño seems to have driven the increase in temperature.
This is because the increase the temperature of the oceans, tend to absorb less CO2, and increases the presence of forest fires.
This could be the first year that the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere exceed 400 parts per million throughout the year, a fact that had not occurred since the beginning of measurement, in 1958.
to give an example, the author notes that the planet takes 370 consecutive months of increase in the Earth’s temperature, which It implies that no person under 30 years has only lived higher temperatures compared to the previous year.
