With the title, on January 10, journalist Marc Kaufman wrote in the Washington Post: "The past year has been the hottest year in the US for the past 112 years. It has surpassed the hottest 9-year limit and is the" record. " "unprecedented in history".

According to the US Climate Data Center, this record is the cause for narcissus and cherry blossoms to bloom everywhere in the Eastern United States in the early New Year 2007 and this is also the result of long accumulation. Long carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere.
'People need to be concerned about what we are doing to the climate,' said Jay Lawrimore, NOAA's director of climate testing, the US Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
'The burning of fossil fuels (like coal) is the reason for the increase in greenhouse effect and the scientific community is also agreeing that it is the result of climate change now.'
According to NOAA, this is an indication of a rapidly increasing global temperature trend. They point out: in 2006 the average average temperature in the US was 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit higher than in the 20th century. The 2006 report has 7 months higher than the average and the last month is the month. Hottest, on record. The temperatures of all 48 states adjacent to the US are above average and New Jersey is the hottest place ever.
Many researchers pay attention to polar ice melting, resulting in higher sea level rise, more severe storms and droughts. But NOAA also pointed out that in bad luck: thanks to the warmer earth, from October to December 2006, Americans saved 13.5% of energy. NOAA also said that El Nino in the Pacific equator also contributed to preventing cold air in the Atlantic Ocean from blowing across the south and in the US eastern region.

'No one was surprised when 2006 was the hottest year in the US' . Brenda Ekwurzel, climate scientist of the Union of Friendship Science said. 'This is the only year since 1993 in the top 20 years of record heat. We need to start fighting global warming in the next 10 years if we want to have a safe living environment for our children and grandchildren. '
Lawrimore says other studies by NOAA show that this is the time when the temperature has increased extremely fast in the past 30 years since 1895, the year the US began collecting data on temperature. Accordingly, on earth, 2005 is the most hot year and 2006 will be insignificantly cold. He said although scientists agree carbon dioxide gas emitted from car energy, plant energy and from factories, they have yet to agree that global warming rates will increase rapidly or slowly in the future. hybrid

Several studies predict that global temperatures will increase dramatically from 7 to 8 degrees Fahrenheit above the average by the end of the 21st century, while some other studies suggest that the increase will be modest in 2 degrees F at the same time. The increase in the use of petroleum and coal energy related to carbon dioxide emissions has been and will be heating up the earth's protection layer, which according to scientific reports, has never been so much in 650,000 years. Carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere like now!
However, the Bush government ignored the proposals to reduce, stop carbon dioxide emissions activities to the sky or tax their use as a way to limit global warming. As a consequence, some of the northeastern cities of the United States were unusually warming like Boston higher than 8 degrees F and Minneapolis-St. Paul 17 degrees F above the average in the last 3 weeks of December 2006.
