Released every year by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the American Meteorological Society, this climate report is an important document to know about the current state of our climate and its impact across the globe.
Peer-reviewed by over 500 renowned scientists, this report is currently available in the public domain.
It gives a very scary picture about our climate.
Earth is getting progressively warmer
High Annual temperatures recorded in Mexico and India
The atmospheric Co2 concentration touched 402.9 parts per million (ppm). It surpassed 400 ppm for the first time in the recorded history dating back as far as 8,00,000 years.
In 2016, an average sea level rose to 3.25 inches (82 mm) higher than the 1993 statistics.
Global sea level has risen for the six consecutive years.
In polar region, the amount of sea ice is decreasing.
A total of named tropical cyclones were observed by the meteorologists across the globe. This is well above average of 1980 to 200 figures. And that is around 82.
In Indian peninsular regions, a weeklong heat wave over 45 degrees affected over 300 million people, in which 300 lost their lives.
