2020 SETS YET ANOTHER TEMPERATURE RECORD

 

The Earth’s rising fever hit or neared record hot temperature levels in 2020, global weather groups reported Thursday.

While NASA and a couple of other measurement groups said 2020 passed or essentially tied 2016 as the hottest year on record, more agencies, including the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, said last year came in a close second or third. The differences in rankings mostly turned on how scientists accounted for data gaps in the Arctic, which is warming faster than the rest of the globe.

NOAA said 2020 averaged 58.77 degree, a few hundredths of a degree behind 2016. NASA saw 2020 as warmer than 2016 but so close they essentially tied.
