The heat stays on: Earth hits 6th warmest year on record
By Associated Press -January 17, 2022 10:00 AM
Global temperatures are nearly 2 degrees warmer on average than they were 140 years ago, according to two U.S. science agencies.
Earth simmered to the sixth hottest year on record in 2021, according to several newly released temperature measurements.
And scientists say the exceptionally hot year is part of a long-term warming trend that shows hints of accelerating.
Two U.S. science agencies — NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration — and a private measuring group released their calculations for last year's global temperature on Thursday, and all said it wasn't far behind ultra-hot 2016 and 2020.
