An analysis which foresees problems for the future of humanity was published on Friday by NASA and NOAA researchers.

 

The results of the aforementioned analysis portray a gloomy picture, since 2014 has been scientifically proven to have been the warmest year on record.

 

According to the BBC, the World Meteorological  Organization released provisional figures that predicted that the past 12 months were well on their way to becoming record breakers.

 

Thomas Karl, director of NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center stated that there was a “considerable amount of area where we saw the record highest temperatures observed, such as many portions of Europe, and every ocean had parts that were the warmest on record”.

 

Australia did not stay off the record-breaking charts, with its unforeseen average temperatures surpassing any grim predictions.

 

Dr. Thomas Karl, however stated that there were other areas, some in the US, which were much cooler compared to the average. However, the total average worldwide does indeed point to the irrefutable fact, that 2014 was the warmest year on record, since scientists began using scientific instruments to collect temperature data in the late 19th century.

 

The review portraying the extreme weather conditions during 2014 included some highlights of record-breaking events:

 

-September 2014: The Balkans received more than double the average monthly rainfall, while parts of Turkey received more than four times the previous average.

-Moroccan town Guelmin was hit with rainfall amounting to more than one year’s worth in just four days.
