Global warming began as early as 1940s

While temperature records generally showed pronounced indications of global warming, heavy rainfall events have yet to make their mark. These charts show the time man-made pollutants began. The study was based on average temperature and extreme temperature readings.

Andrew King from the National Centre for Atmospheric Science stated that the research team studied the temperature patterns and their changes to gain a better understanding of global warming.

According to new findings, global warming was witnessed in the tropics as early as the 1960s South East Asia and Africa were among the first regions on Earth to suffer from global warming.

According to scientific research, the tropics were the first regions to face the extreme temperature changes, mainly because they had a narrower range of temperatures.

Numerous world’s greatest cities – now home to more than one billion people – will be underwater should we burn all of the planet’s available fossil fuels, scientists have warned.

Dr. Ed Hawkins, a climate scientist at the University of Reading and an author of the study said that the simulations showed the earliest changes of temperatures in Africa and Southeastern Asia.

The study concluded that “unabated carbon emissions”, leading to sea-level rise, threatens the Antarctic Ice Sheet “in its entirety”.

“We don’t have enough information” to state definitively whether fossil fuel companies have engaged in criminal racketeering schemes by funding research that undermines Whitehouse’s climate policy positions, he wrote. What this meant was that even if a shift in temperature is small, it would be more easily observed and recorded.

A scientist calling on the federal government to prosecute those who question his position on global climate change has paid himself and his wife millions of dollars in federal grant money, public records show. A good example of such regions is the wider part of Continental U.S., especially on the Eastern coast and a few of the central states.

These regions have yet to manifest obvious warming signals according to the models but it is expected they will appear in the next decade, said the researchers who analysed different climate models for their research.

Later extreme temperature events showed a global warming signal, researchers say.

‘This is likely to bring pronounced precipitation events on top of the already existing trend towards increasingly wet winters in these regions’.

Moreover, heavy rainfall is expected after the global warming as it changes the environmental balance. An increasing rate of warming has taken place over the last 25 years, and 11 of the 12 warmest years on record have occurred in the past 12 years, the IPCC added.
