Specialists from the NASA Space Institute noted that the average annual temperature on our planet continues to increase. Observations of temperature indicators in 2013 made it possible for specialists to draw conclusions that 2013 should divide the 7th place from 2006 and 2009, as the warmest in history since the 1880s. Based on such indicators, NASA experts note that in the world, the temperature continues to rise, although quite gradually.
Specialists from the Institute. Goddard conducted an analysis of the temperature on Earth on average per day in 2013. Taking into account all the research data obtained, the scientists were able to compile a report on the state of affairs in 2013. Comparing the indicators of 2013 with previous years, scientists concluded that at present the air temperature is much higher. In 2013, meteorologists recorded that, on average, the air temperature is 14.6 ° C, compared to the previous century, the air of the earth was heated to 0, 6 ° C.
Gavin Schmidt, a leading specialist at the Center for Space Research, said that climate change is continuing on Earth. All his conclusions and conclusions he presented to NASA at a press conference. According to Gavin Schmidt, such a picture can be observed in the long term. All conducted studies and analyzes only confirm the fact that in 2014 one should expect relatively warm weather.
It should be noted that the indicators of the earth's temperature for the last year were analyzed not only by the National Climate Center, but the National Office of the United States also compared temperature indicators for different years. In this research center, scientists came to the conclusion that in 2013 the average temperature reached 14.52 ° C. Scientists from the department adhered to other methods of research, because according to their data, 2013, since 1980, should be on the fourth place among the warmest.
Experts from Canada made a rating of the countries that made the greatest contribution to the rise in the temperature of the Earth. The first on the list are the Republic of China, the United States, Brazil, Germany, Russia, Britain, India. At the Montreal University of Concordia, experts have established that, in increasing the terrestrial temperature, all these countries are together to blame for 60%, i.e. Based on their performance, countries should be responsible for raising the temperature by 0.7 ° C (the total temperature rise was 0.74 ° C, the researchers analyzed the figures from 1906 to 2005).
To establish more accurate data and to find out how much each country influences warming, experts estimated the impact of each type of release into the atmosphere, taking as a basis the duration of the impact on the atmosphere caused by them.
If we take the percentage, then the United States ranks first - 22% (0.15 ° C), then the Republic of China - 9%, the Russian Federation - 8%, Brazil and India 7%, Germany and Great Britain 5% each.
