July was the hottest month ever recorded – Terra Brazil

Data released on Monday (15/08) by the American Space Agency (NASA) show that last July reached record high temperature.

Even after the weakening of the phenomenon “El Niño”, which raises global temperatures together with climate change, the month of July 2016 was 0,84ºC hotter than average recorded between 1950 and 1980, and 0,11ºC above the months hottest July until then recorded in 2011 and 2015.

the director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies of NASA’s Gavin Schmidt, issued by Twitter a graph of the temperature increase in July 2016, stating that this was the warmest since records began.

Scientists attribute the high temperatures mainly to climate change caused by burning fossil fuels, as well as an intensification of El Nino, which, with an interval of a few years, a natural causes heating in regions of the Pacific Ocean, modifying the temperatures throughout the world.

According to NASA, this is the tenth warmest month recorded in sequence. “The scary thing is that we entered an era where it will be surprising when each new month a year is not the hottest ever recorded,” says Chris Field, climate scientist at Stanford University and the Carnegie Institution.

Gavin Schmidt says the new record, along with all the others who have recently been broken, tell the same story:. “The planet is warming This is important for telling us about the future, “he said. The records of global temperatures began in 1880.
