On Jan. 15, 1972, 53 years ago, a weather observer in Loma, Montana, measured a morning temperature of 49 degrees. That sounds warm for mid-January, but that's only half the story.
The geologic temperature record are changes in Earth's environment as determined from geologic evidence on multi-million to billion (10 9) year time scales. The study of past temperatures provides an important paleoenvironmental insight because it is a component of the climate and oceanography of the time.
Temperatures measured directly on the ground may exceed air temperatures by 30 to 50 °C (54 to 90 °F). [6] The highest natural ground surface temperature ever recorded may have been an alleged reading of 93.9 °C (201.0 °F) at Furnace Creek, California , United States, on 15 July 1972. [ 7 ]
The onslaught of tornadoes 50 years ago has been called the Super Outbreak. It was the first on record to produce more than 100 tornadoes in a single 24-hour period, according to a weather service ...
According to IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, in the last 170 years, humans have caused the global temperature to increase to the highest level in the last 2,000 years. The current multi-century period is the warmest in the past 100,000 years. [3] The temperature in the years 2011-2020 was 1.09 °C higher than in 1859–1890.
As a soon-to-be Arkansas State freshman, Hoover had covered the 4-mile course 50 years ago in 20:48, winning by 58 seconds over the runner-up finisher Bill Bandy (21:46). Steamboat Classic: It's ...
Some temperature information is available through geologic evidence, going back millions of years. More recently, information from ice cores covers the period from 800,000 years ago until now. Tree rings and measurements from ice cores can give evidence about the global temperature from 1,000-2,000 years before the present until now. [9]
Last year was the planet’s hottest in recorded history, NASA announced, marking two years in a row that global temperatures have shattered records. Last year was the hottest in Earth's recorded ...
