2019 Marked As The Second-Hottest Year On Record

Climate change is the real tragedy that humans are now facing. We have continuously witnessed the second and third warmest years in history. According to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), global warming has become more and more severe and had long-term influences on the Earth. 

According to NOAA, there is an 85% probability that the year 2019 will be ranked as the 2nd warmest year among the data set, as well as the warmest year among 5 years of the world. Last month was assessed the "43rd-straight October" which had a higher temperature than the average of the 20th century and was 418th straight warmer than the average month. Calculated by NOAA, October's average temperature on the ocean surface and global land has been 1.76 degrees higher than that of the 20th century. It was also 0.11 degrees higher than the recorded warmest October in 2015.

Among NOAA's research areas, record warm temperatures were discovered in several parts in the North and Western Pacific Ocean, Africa, the Middle East, the South Atlantic Ocean and so on. The region that was found cold in October was only Western U.S. 

Also in the report, the amount of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased significantly. The cause of this increase is due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels in exchange for energy. The accumulation of greenhouse gases has made the atmosphere become hotter than ever.
