There have been reports from data gathered separately that 2014 has been the hottest year on record. Global warming apparently, shows no signs of slowing down. This year's summer though, has been recorded to be the hottest summer on record.

According to the Huffington Post, the annual review of the weather and climate done by international scientists of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or otherwise known as NOAA says that if we don't do our fair share in preventing global warming, we will continue to suffer from extreme heat during the summers.

The data gathered by NOAA was published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. Eastern North America was the only major region in the planet that showed a below-average annual temperature last year.

National Geographic also reported on this alarming news on global warming. The center for weather and climate of NOAA had around 400 scientists who all agreed that the carbon dioxide levels in our environment is harming our atmosphere at a disturbing rate. 

The levels of carbon dioxide this year had 397.2 parts per million (ppm), this is a 1.9 ppm increase from 2014's record. This is on a global scale. The North Pacific Ocean showed a significant increase in upper ocean temperature heat. The global sea levels have been rising faster, affecting the balance of the ecosystem in a more dangerous scale.

Other reports from the State Column reveals that there have been more tropical cyclones in the past five years, the ice in the Antarctic have been melting faster due to the high variable temperatures, and the same pattern has been recorded in the Arctic areas.

Human activities that have continuously caused damage to the planet will not stop. Deke Amdt, one of the climate scientists of NOAA stated that the changes in the lower part of the Earth's atmosphere will continue to drive a change in the ground level's change in composition, and the same will happen to the upper atmosphere as well. The pace of composition change on the upper atmosphere is slower than the ground level though.  

It appears that this year still has high possibilities of becoming the warmest year on record. The El Nino phenomenon in the tropical Pacific might be headed all across the globe. We still have 5 more months to wait and see if this will eventually happen or not.
