2014 was a record warm

На NASA website was reported that in 2014 was recorded maximum average temperature of the Earth's surface. The study was conducted National Aerospace Exploration Agency and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The study notes that global warming will lead to multidirectional climate change on Earth. For example, for the cold snowy winters in the central West Coast of the USA followed by intense heat in the summer in some areas.

The average sea surface temperature was a record, and land - only the fourth all-time observations. In the Arctic, in the last 25 years there is a decrease in the average temperature, while for Antarctica is not observed a stable trend. The average surface temperature in 2014 was the highest of all time measuring it in 1880 th. It is at 0, 8 degrees Celsius higher than in 1880 and at 0, 69 degrees Celsius higher than the average of the XX century.

According to the video on YouTube-Channel NASA, this is just another proof of the existence of global warming, which is amplified in recent years. The main reason for the increase is happening is called the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In 2013, its concentration in the atmosphere has reached a record high.

Based on the projections of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the United Nations, by 2100 the temperature will rise by four degrees, and the Earth expect more frequent and severe droughts, floods and hurricanes. To remedy the situation was proposed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 by 40-70 percent compared to 2010, but so far countries have failed to reach an agreement about this. For example, China, one of the leaders in industrial production, did not sign the so-called The Kyoto Protocol on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
