Earth experienced the hottest June in more than 130 years

June 2014 became the hottest June in world meteorological history since experts began collecting and recording data on the average temperature of the Earth in 1880.

According to data from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on July 21, the average global heat in June reached 16.2 degrees Celsius, 0.72 degrees Celsius higher. compared to the average temperature of the 20th century, and surpassed the record hot June of 2010.

Also according to NOAA, last month is also the 352th month in a row that the global average temperature is higher than the heat level in the 20th century. Previously, last May also recorded a record heat of 15.54 degrees C.

NOAA identified one reason for the heat background in May and June of this year to reach record levels as an increase in abnormal temperatures in the world's oceans, especially the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Accordingly, the ocean surface temperature in June increased sharply to 17 degrees Celsius, exceeding the record recorded in 1998.

The phenomenon of ice melting in the Arctic also occurred faster than usual in the past month, causing the ice melt rate to be about 5% lower than the average in the 1981-2010 period.

The above figures are based on the analysis and evaluation of the average temperature on the ocean and land surface on a global scale, which recorded the average temperature in most areas on Earth. are higher than the annual average, even up to a record high in New Zealand, some states of Greenland (USA), many places in the North of South America, as well as in Central Africa and Southeast Asia .

The steady rise in temperature in recent decades has caused environmental experts and meteorologists to worry that polluting emissions from human activity are contributing to the rapid warming of the Earth's climate.

Last May, the World Meteorological Agency (WMO) also announced that atmospheric CO ₂ concentrations exceeded 400 million parts in the Northern Hemisphere, while predicting average CO ₂ concentrations across Demand will exceed the 400 million mark in 2015 or 2016, compared with 393.1 million in 2012.

WMO officials stressed that this change shows the urgency of efforts to limit climate change, while urging governments and the international community to implement measures to prevent blocking this trend increases.

Concentration of CO ₂ while the pre-Industrial era book was 278 parts per million and increased by an average of 2 parts per million over the past decade.
