2020 was the hottest year on record, tied with 2016, NASA and NOAA announced in a teleconference on Thursday at the 101st American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting.
More broadly, the period from 2010 to 2020 was also the hottest decade in the 140 year history of modern temperature record-keeping, and continues the alarming pattern in which each consecutive decade since the 1960s has been warmer than the last.
Temperatures in 2016 were boosted by an El Niño event, a factor that was absent in 2020, suggesting a continuation of a trend in which each successive year breaks the temperature records of its predecessor. 2021, in contrast, may be slightly cooler due to an ongoing La Niña event that may chill global temperatures.
The culprit is clear: climate change during the past half-century is almost entirely driven by greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide, emitted by the fossil fuel industry.
