NASA's Analysis of 2016 Global Temperature

in #news8 years ago

2016 was the hottest year on record, continuing a decades-long warming trend. Scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) analyzed measurements from 6,300 locations and found that Earth’s average surface temperature has risen about 2.0 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees Celsius) since the late-19th century, largely a result of human emissions into the atmosphere.

If this is true " largely a result of human emissions into the atmosphere", then the easy solution is a world devoid of humans. Climate changed solved!

Now, if the climate still changes when the world is devoid of humans, then we know humans were not to blame, but too late, ooops!
