2005 was Earth's warmest year in a century, say NASA climatologists, with the years 1998, 2002, 2003 and 2004 following close behind.
Just about every part of the Earth's surface was warmer than average last year, with the most severe temperature rises in the Arctic, according to the data and analysis of NASA climatologists at the Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS) in New York City. The study is further evidence, added to a mountain of scientific evidence, supporting that global warming is real.
"It's basically all of the temperatures at the surface that we can get our hands on," said GISS scientist Drew Shindell of their latest study.
According to the GISS data, the Earth's surface has warmed by 1.08° Fahrenheit (0.6° Celsius) over the last 30 years. Over the past 100 years, the warming has been 1.44°F (0.8°C For complete article click here
