Global Average Temperature for 2017 was Second Highest Updated in March 2018

On January 18, World Meteorological Organization (WMO) announced that 2017’s global average temperature was 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 second highest in 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 history of climate observation. 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 year 2017 recorded 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 second highest temperature next to 2016. Counting back from 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 year 2015, temperature had stayed high for three consecutive years (2015-2017). 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) had also publicized last year's temperature data. WMO warns that “rise in 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 concentration of greenhouse gas clearly shows that climate change is continuing.”

WMO integrated and analyzed five observation data. As a result, 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 average temperature in 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 year 2017 was 14.8 degrees Celsius, which was 1.1 degrees higher than 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 pre-Industrial Revolution era in 19th century. It was in 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 same range as 2015. In 2016, 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 average temperature rose by 1.2 degrees to a record high figure. WMO points out that 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 year 2016 was strongly influenced by El Niño. However, El Niño did not occur in 2017. 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴refore, 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 temperature for 2017 was “德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 hottest so far without El Niño factors.”

On 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 same day, NASA also announced that 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 average global temperature for 2017 was 0.9 degrees higher than 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 average figure during 1951-1980.

About 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 global temperature data of 2017, WMO Secretary-General Taalas comments that “德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 long-term temperature trend is far more important than 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 ranking of individual years, and that trend is an upward one.” 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 international framework to prevent global warming, 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 Paris Agreement aims to substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero in 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 second half of this century and aims to keep 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 rise in temperature below 2 degrees, preferably 1.5 degrees, to a level prior to 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 industrial revolution. Publicized data show that global warming has already exceeded more than half of 德赢与AC米兰官方合作伙伴 initial target.
