CLIMATE CHANGE EARLY WARNING: 2016 THE HOTTEST CALENDAR YEAR





Our planet is heated up, climate change has become a familiar term to many, but this is really a contentious issue. Prediction and evaluation of the consequences of an environmental impact is a huge task that still present many challenges, of which climate change is one.
Rapid melting of polar ice caps and threatened depleting biodiversity are all strong warnings from scientists bringing 2016 as the hottest calendar so far. 


NOAA (The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) report has recorded the temperature across the globe and ocean surface for the year 2016 to date was 1.78°F above the 20th Century average of 57.5°F. This was the highest from January-September for the 1880-2016 record, surpassing the previous record set in 2015 by 0.23°F, you can truly say this is alarming.

Quoting ROARING EARTH, "If this trend continues, Earth as we know it will change for ever. World leaders are currently attempting to keep global climate levels at or below 2°Celsius (3.6°F) below pre-industrial levels through the year 2100. However, this goal may quickly become impossible".
