NASA published a report on world temperature. This summer has been a very hot summer in Türkiye and the world. It was recorded in many reports as the hottest summer of recent years. NASA, one of the biggest sayrs in this field, explained this situation with documents.
The summer of 2023 was the hottest summer on Earth since global records began in 1880
The report by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York revealed the frightening dimensions of this summer. That means the months of June, July, and August combined were 0.23 degrees Celsius warmer than any other summer in NASA’s record.
NASA has been recording global temperatures since 1880. The temperature measurements, known as GISTEMP, are derived from a calculation method that includes data from tens of thousands of weather stations as well as sea temperature data from ship- and buoy-based devices.
NASA broke a new space record!
This time, NASA astronauts broke a brand new record. NASA astronaut Frank Rubio became the astronaut who spent the longest time in space.
In the GISTEMP measurement shown above, the temperature between 1951 and 1980 is assumed to be 0. The graph reflects the average of the increases all over the world relative to this zero point. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson made the following statements in his statement:
The effects of climate change are a threat to our planet and future generations. The record-breaking temperatures of summer 2023 aren’t just a series of numbers; these lead to dire consequences in the real world. From sweltering temperatures in Arizona and across the country to wildfires across Canada and extreme flooding in Europe and Asia, extreme weather threatens lives and livelihoods around the world.
