Global warming can contribute to drought.

Even so, the researchers concluded that greenhouse gas pollution in 1937 doubled the likelihood of reaching that year’s high average temperature. The warming effects of fossil fuel use and deforestation remained relatively slight 80 years ago, when compared with the heavy hand they have played in rapid-fire records set more recently.

A United Nations climate agreement was struck in Paris in December, aiming to keep warming “well below” 2☌ (3.6☏). The record set last year saw average temperatures of 1☌ (1.8☏) above those of the late 19th century. In 1921 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a white elevator operator claimed that a black man had attacked her. In Chicago, 38 were killed and 500 injured. During this 'Red Summer,' there were 26 riots between April and October. Some model runs simulated the effects of greenhouse gas pollution present in the atmosphere at that time others did not.īy comparing the results, the researchers concluded it was more likely than not that greenhouse gas pollution played a role in setting all of the last 16 yearly global temperature records. In the summer of 1919, race riots exploded throughout Northern and Southern cities. The team of scientists used earth models to simulate likely temperatures for each year since 1901. RELATED What To Know About February’s Satellite Temp Record World Unites, Delivers Hopeful Climate Deal The first two months of 2016 appear to have broken monthly temperature records. The most recent global record, set in 2015, easily surpassed a record set just one year earlier. He was part of an international team of scientists that published the findings this week in Geophysical Research Letters.

“What we found was that we could actually detect human influence on extreme events a lot earlier than we’d thought,” said Daniel Mitchell, an Oxford University physicist who researches climate change.
