A GLOBAL CLIMATE REPORT has found 2019 was the second hottest year on record for the planet, and the hottest year ever recorded for ocean heat content.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the peak US scientific agency, has released its Annual Global Climate Report, confirming what many experts had predicted.
“If it seems like we are reporting on a new climate record being broken week after week, it’s because the planet is getting hotter and hotter,” said Climate Councillor Professor Will Steffen. “It’s a frightening reality.”
Nine of the ten hottest years globally have occurred since 2005, with 2016 being the hottest on record.
