A map that reveals Earth’s emerging hot zones
We’ve been recording global surface temperatures since 1880, the beginning of what meteorologists call the modern record. In that time, worldwide temperatures have been on the rise. Now, NASA scientists are reporting that the global average surface temperature in 2011 was the ninth warmest that we’ve ever recorded. So what’s the big deal? In the last 132 years, nine of the ten warmest on record have occurred in the last eleven years.
