Last Decade is the warmest on record

Despite attempts of many nations to curb their emissions of greenhouse gases new NASA data shows that the last decade is the warmest decade on record, with 2005 being the warmest year ever recorded. Per decade the global temperature has risen .36 degrees F and in total average global temperatures have increased around 1.5 degrees F since 1880. Scientists hypothesize that global temperatures are on a path to rise by an average of 6C by the end of the century. Experts say that such a rise would have irreversible consequences for the Earth, making large parts of the planet uninhabitable. Lets hope our world leaders can find ways to curb greenhouse gas emissions more successfully in the coming years!
