2020 ties with 2016 for the ‘hottest year on record’
Recommended for Preparatory Grades
The hottest year on record
As climate change continues to be a huge problem, a study has shown that 2020 (along with 2016) has been the ‘hottest year on record‘.
This news has come through the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). This is the European Union’s climate agency and Earth Observation Programme.
The hottest year on record
2020 saw the highest global temperatures on record, alarming heat and record wildfires in the Arctic, and a record 29 tropical storms in the Atlantic.
Even though there was less burning of fossil fuel (oil, coal, gas) due to coronavirus lockdowns, global warming continued.
The last six years on the calendar have all also been the six hottest years on record. This shows that the Earth has been getting warmer.
