Climate change - Fact 2
Temperatures are continuing to rise
The rise in global surface temperature has averaged more than 0.15 °C per
decade since the mid-1970s. Warming has been unprecedented in at least the
last 50 years, and the 17 warmest years have all occurred in the last 20
years. This does not mean that next year will necessarily be warmer than
last year, but the long-term trend is for rising temperatures.
A simple mathematical calculation of the temperature change over the
latest
decade (1998-2007) alone shows a continued warming of 0.1 °C per decade.
The
warming trend can be seen in the graph of observed global temperatures.
The
red bars show the global annual surface temperature, which exhibit
year-to-year variability. The blue line clearly shows the upward trend,
far
greater than the uncertainties, which are shown as thin black bars. The
recent slight slowing of the warming is due to a ****ft towards
more-frequent
La Niņa conditions in the Pacific since 1998. These bring cool water up
from
the depths of the Pacific Ocean, cooling global temperatures.
