This Winter Was the Warmest on Record
This Winter Was the Warmest on Record – This winter may have brought a deep freeze to much of the Northeast — including record-breaking snowfall in Boston — but climate scientists announced Wednesday that it was the planet’s warmest winter on record.
According to a newly released report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Climatic Data Center, the average global temperature from December to February was 1.42 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the 20th-century average of 53.8 degrees F.
Human-caused global warming, from emissions of greenhouse gases, is a major contributor to the continued rise in global temperatures, scientists have said.
