Greetings, iam Leah Faulds, Buongiorno.
Wow, what a year! 2020 has been the hottest year in human history - and it’s not even over yet! It’s been a scorcher, with temperatures soaring to record highs all around the world. From heat waves to droughts, it’s clear that climate change is having an impact on our planet. But there is still hope - if we act now, we can make a difference and help protect our environment for future generations. Let’s get started!
Which Was The Hottest Year In Human History? [Solved]
Wow, that’s crazy! It looks like each decade is getting hotter and hotter. We’ve seen the warmest seven years since 2015, with 2016, 2019 and 2020 being the top three. Yikes!
Record-Breaking Temperatures: 2020 was the hottest year in human history, with global temperatures 1.2°C (2.2°F) above pre-industrial levels and 0.6°C (1.1°F) higher than the previous record set in 2016.
Widespread Impact: The extreme heat was felt around the world, with Europe experiencing its hottest summer on record and Australia enduring its worst bushfire season ever recorded.
Climate Change Contributor: Scientists attribute this record-breaking heat to human-caused climate change, which is causing global temperatures to rise at an unprecedented rate due to increased emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels like coal and oil for energy production and transportation purposes.
Long Term Consequences: If left unchecked, these rising temperatures could have devastating consequences for our planet’s ecosystems, leading to more extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, hurricanes, and wildfires as well as sea level rise that could displace millions of people living near coastlines around the world over time
Wow, 2020 was the hottest year in human history! It’s crazy to think that temperatures have risen so much over the years. We’ve definitely felt it here in the US, with record-breaking heat waves and droughts. It’s a scary reminder of how climate change is impacting our planet. Let’s hope 2021 brings some relief!
