2018 was the fourth-hottest year on record, NASA says. Climate scientists say 'global warming shows no signs of slowing down.'
New government data on temperatures around the world offers cold comfort to those who hope that global warming is on the wane. The data, released on Wednesday by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, shows that 2018 was the fourth-hottest year since 1880, the earliest year for which reliable global temperature data is available.
The three hottest years on record were 2015, 2016 and 2017.
The new report makes it clear that “global warming shows no sign of slowing down or stopping,” said Kristina Dahl, a senior climate scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists.
