AP News (January 13)

“Earth simmered to the sixth hottest year on record in 2021.” This “did not represent a cooling off of human-caused climate change” as La Nina lowered temperatures. Indeed, 2021 was the hottest La Nina year ever and “part of a long-term warming trend that shows hints of accelerating.” Data from both NASA and NOAA show “the last eight years have been the eight hottest on record.”

“According to Nasa, Noaa and the UK Met Office, last year was the second warmest in a record dating back to 1850.” Moreover, “the past five years were the hottest in the 170-year series” and “the Met Office says that 2020 is likely to continue this warming trend.”

“Last month wasn’t just the hottest July on record for the surface of earth. It continued the longest-ever streak of record-breaking months—15.” The data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) came at an alarming time. “As more than 100,000 Americans flee destructive wildfires in California and floods in Louisiana, earth sends yet another reminder that the worst is yet to come: a new record for planet-wide heat.”

“2015 was Earth’s hottest year on record, and it appears the planet is still getting hotter.” If the planet conforms with 2016 forecast from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, it will “mark the first time the average global temperature reached record-breaking heights for three consecutive years.”

“It’s time to face the fact that the weather isn’t what it used to be.” Things are getting hotter and moister. Welcome to the new normal. Every decade, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recalculates normal climate data for over 7,000 U.S. locations based on 30-year averages. The latest numbers “show that the climate of the last 10 years was about 1.5 degrees warmer than the climate of the 1970s.” The seemingly small difference is massive. This trend means that summers like the “European heat wave that killed more than 30,000 people during the summer of 2003…. will likely happen every other year by 2040.”

The Senate gave up on climate change legislation. There aren’t enough votes. Ironically, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) just made separate releases underscoring “the risks humanity runs if it continues to pump carbon into the atmosphere.” The EPA reaffirmed the scientific consensus that global warming is occurring while NOAA found that each decade has gotten warmer during the last 50 years.
