2017 the hottest year in history?

An increase in average global temperatures of 1.1 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial times could make 2017 the hottest year on record.

The world's climate has recorded record high temperatures for the past three years. Many predictions say that this year will continue to set new records for high temperatures, according to Futurism.

Climate change is accompanied by an increase in average global temperatures. Natural disasters are forcing people to take global climate change more seriously. High temperatures are believed to be the cause of the wildfires that spread across Alberta, Canada, costing the country $3.58 billion.

Massive heat waves in the Arctic also cause sea levels to rise, devastating wildlife. Climate change leads to changes in the environment and temperature, causing coral bleaching. In fact, scientists have classified many coral reefs as “terminal,” with parts of them no longer able to recover.

The people of Haiti are still experiencing firsthand the deadly effects of climate change.Hurricane Matthew wreaked havoc across the country, and the effects are still being felt. Continued temperature increases will have an impact very quickly.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) says the average global temperature last year rose 1.1 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. That may not seem like a big deal to many people. But even such a small increase could have serious consequences around the world.

It is essential to use renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels. Through education and research, humans can innovate and continue to create new ways to power our lives without putting the Earth at risk.
