the National Experts on aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) published chilling study. According to scientists, in April 2016 was the hottest on record for the state of the atmosphere.
According to the newspaper The Independent, so far in 2016 was an abnormally warm: a deviation of more than 1% from the average of 1951-1980 years is fixed for the sixth consecutive month. According to scientists’ predictions, the trend towards an increase in temperature will continue. NASA experts believe the last 12 months will beat all the temperature records.
“It’s scary. I do not know what happens next. We understood that temperature variation of the surface layer of water in the equatorial Pacific, the impact on the climate, the so-called El Niño, which, in particular, is one of the causes of drought in Venezuela, affect the situation, but hardly anyone expected such a shock, “- says one of the study’s authors metorolog Eric Holthaus.
According to experts, the global increase in temperature significantly affects the environment. Over the past 18 months, about a quarter of the existing colonies of coral in the ocean began to suffer from discoloration due to oxidation and rising sea temperatures, rapidly melting sea ice.
Such processes, as we are assured, scientists are due to high levels of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as El Niño (or Southern Oscillation), which is characterized by fluctuation of the temperature of surface water in the equatorial Pacific Ocean that has a noticeable impact on the climate.
