23、toring Annual Report, which was released Thursday. The United Nations had previously reported that 2015 was shaping up to be the warmest year on record for the whole planet. Last year was also the third wettest on record in the U.S. and saw ten weather- or climate-related disasters that each caused
24、at least $1 billion in damage in the U.S. and killed a total of 155 people. These include a drought, two floods, five severe storms, a wildfire, and a winter storm. The average U.S. temperature was 54.4F, 2.4F above the 20th century average, and second only to 2012s record warmth. This was also the
25、19th consecutive year with average temperatures above the average for the century. Every state reported above-average annual temperatures. The warming was particularly pronounced across most of the eastern half of the country in December, when many places saw temperatures 30 degrees above normal and
26、 many records were set. This mirrored changes seen in the Arctic that month, when temperatures spiked to 50 degrees above normal. Part of this warming was driven by a strong El Nio, or periodic warming in the Pacific Ocean, but some of it can also be attributed to global warming, says meteorologist
27、Eric Holthaus, who was not involved with the federal report.

28、e way there when it comes to reducing carbon from the atmosphere,” said President Barack Obama at the time. Still, the agreement represented “a turning point” by setting up “the architecture“ for doing so, he said. NOAAs climate monitoring center doesnt issue predictions for future weather, but the
29、agencys Climate Prediction Center does.

35、fordable fares and also avoid paying as many extra charges as possible when you plan ahead.
