A total of eight warmest years have been recorded since 1998, and 14 warmest years have been recorded since 1990
The year 2007 was a very warm year and now there is confirmation of that. NASA climatologists said this week that it compares to 1998, which was the second year of the wall in history. A total of eight warmest years have been recorded since 1998, and 14 warmest years have been recorded since 1990.
Researchers at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Research used temperature measurement data at ground stations, and satellite measurements of sea ice temperature since 1982 and data from ships for previous years. "As we observed last year, 2007 was warmer than 2006, and it continues the strong trend of warming that has dominated the last 30 years and which can be attributed with certainty to the increasing impact of man-made greenhouse gas emissions," said James Hansen, director of the NASA's GISS.
Most of the warming was in the Arctic Ocean region and high latitudes, where extensive ice blocks melted. In fact, the Northwest Passage has opened for the first time in history, and scientists predict that the area will be completely free of summer ice in less than a decade. The low levels of ice in the Arctic Ocean make it possible to open waterways and reduce the amount of sunlight reflected back into space. This figure, in turn, is expected to further increase the rate of global warming.

All the nice talk about greenhouse gases fails to explain how greenhouse gases go up when the temperatures go up and not the other way around.
As usual when money, (big money) is involved in the business of science - the science comes out crooked.
I suggest to all those who are so certain of the effect of greenhouse gases on warming to check themselves again, without prejudice, your conclusions sound more and more like religious conclusions.
No. Ben-Ner:
No one industrially raised those creatures and the fact that they were large does not mean that their number was large.
The article you are talking about talks about animals being raised for agricultural purposes. Why doesn't he talk about the other animals? Because their contribution to global warming is zero (even though they include elephants and even blue whales which are the largest creature ever to have walked the earth). Cattle herds are significant because humans raise many, many more cows on their farms than the number of cows that would naturally grow in the world. Not this one either - man changed the entire metabolism of domestic animals (and mainly cows) and caused them to be much more efficient methane producers (because in order to produce the amounts of milk and eggs that humans consume, farm animals must digest much more food)
It was reported in one of the science articles, about two months ago, that about 17% of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere originate from ………………..
Gases emitted from the stomachs of cattle herds (especially cows) which are the main source of meat for human consumption.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable to assume that in ancient times, when the population of giant grass-eating animals dominated and multiplied on the earth, the problem of global warming arose as a result of a high concentration of carbon monoxide gases originating from the bowels of those giant creatures. I would like to say that the fact that global warming is cyclical Still does not necessarily rule out the argument that the source of warming is the concentration of carbon oxide gases (also called greenhouse gases) that originate from human activity.

To David and the cool one,
I also watched the movie about the conspiracy, and it seems to me that it is a trending movie and not clear enough, for those who haven't watched it Here's the link with translation.
The film is certainly well-edited, but the whole conspiracy thing is puzzling that not only politicians but also thousands of scientists participate in it,
And the conspiracy is complete, but what about the data, they present general and unclear graphs, their main claim is that most of the warming is affected by solar flares of the sun, but even here the speech is general and without data.
According to a short Google search, I found data that contradicts their claim,
It can be seen that in recent years the eruptions have decreased, while the temperature continues to rise
below One link Multiples.
Although it is true that one can be clever and claim that there may be a hidden cause of the warming that eliminates the man-made co2 factor, but on the other hand one must exercise judgment and see that they have not found any other logical reason that also brings convincing data.
Absolutely everything is an invention of strange people, the world is not warming, there are plenty of fish in the sea, not a single animal has become extinct, there is no air pollution, cellular antennas are healthy, cigarettes are good for the lungs and much more
To David and the cool guy 🙂
What else is needed for you to understand that this is not a trend and that there is absolutely no room for debate here, man is destroying the planet, period.
And we don't have time to explain it to you over and over and wait until you agree.
I agree with David, the problem of all researchers and scientists is that they look at the measured history of the last sixty years and associate all the data with one-way increasing functions.
We need to look at the more distant past and check whether global warming is just a cyclical and natural thing.
We need more physicists, historians and geologists 🙂
Not the hottest in history, but,
The hottest in recorded history.
Referring to headlines such as "The Warmest in History", it is important to note that it is the "warmest in modern history as measured by humans".
Therefore, this history is a "history" of 100 years.
When we talk about reliable measurements on a global scale we are talking about the beginning of the 20th century.
Therefore, when we say "history" in this sense, we do not mean the history of Greek sages and ancient kings.
Therefore, it is not worthwhile to run and conclude that if King David or Nero Caesar visited us, they would be warm.
In fact, we know that during the Middle Ages, vines were successfully grown in Britain and the coasts of Greenland were mapped with incredible accuracy by the Vikings. Of course, from the Vikings until modern times, ships were not able to sail in the sea ice around Greenland, nor were they able to (successfully) grow vines in England.
