During the 1920s to 1940s, temperatures climbed about 0.1 °C (0.18 °F) each decade. Mean global temperatures then stabilized at roughly 14.0°C (57.2 °F) until the 1980s.The world has mainly grown hotter since 1980, at a rate of nearly 0.2 °C (0.36 °F) per decade. The annual...
There was a scientist named Svante Arrhenius who was studying fuel burning in Sweden towards the end of the 19th century. __{1}__ Svante Arrhenius recognized that temperatures on the earth's surface were related to the levels of CO2 in a greenhouse effect which are causes of global warming...

Computer modeling became more sophisticated and indicated that an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide would lead to warmer temperatures. A third group active in opposing programs to mitigate global warming is political, composed of right-wing organizations that fight the role of governmental ...
This includes the introduction of an explicit and relatively simple diagnostic relation to quantify the change in ocean circulation consistent with reconstructed ocean temperatures. It is found that maritime climate and the strength of the Norwegian Atlantic Current are closely related throughout the ...
The mean January and Julytemperaturesare about 60 °F (16 °C) and 84 °F (29 °C), respectively. The lowest recorded temperature was 32 °F (0 °C) in January 1893, and the highest was 97 °F (36 °C) in August 1900. Frost occasionally occurs on hilltops in winter. The averag...
Period2:Global temperatures were shifted up to a new base level from May 1937 through October 1976 (39.5 years). Despite the prominent shift up at the beginning of the period, there was a small cooling trend of -0.02°C/decade for the entire period. ...
During the same period, the temperatures of the earth changed significantly. There have been more factories and increased burning of fossil fuels leading to increased impacts of global warming, which have raised the global temperatures. Ever since the earth has warmed to about 1° C (1.8° F)...
Although the precise nature of the paleoenvironment is still in dispute, temperatures in Neolithic China were probably some 4 to 7 °F (2 to 4 °C) warmer than they are today. Precipitation, although more abundant, may have been declining in quantity. TheQin (Tsinling) Mountainsin north-cen...
