According to a document released by the US Aeronautics Agency (NASA) on January 24, 2005 was the year when the Earth's climate was the highest and also an unusually hot year in the area around the North Pole.

According to NASA's Goddard Space Research Institute, five years are considered the hottest since the new temperature measurement system implemented in the 1980s has been in the last 10 years.

In order, the highest annual average temperature is in 2005, 1998, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

Scientists used to consider 1998 as the hottest year due to the frequent climatic phenomenon of El Nin.

However, according to NASA, the climate in 2005 was even higher than in 1998, although there was no El Ni phenomenon.

Especially the temperature in the area around the Arctic is also unusually warm. To know whether the "house" of the Earth is warming or cooling, scientists use data from land-based weather stations, measures to measure sea surface temperatures since 1982 via satellites and data. from ships in previous years.
