According to a new study by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 2021 was the 6th hottest year in history, even though La Niña changed weather patterns and suppressed global temperatures.

According to the Associated Press reported on the 14th, NASA and NOAA recently released a report that in 2021, despite the La Niña phenomenon, the global average temperature still reached 14.7 degrees Celsius, which is the hottest La Niña year so far. La Niña refers to a large-scale cooling of surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Oceans, accompanied by changes in tropical atmospheric circulation (i.e., wind, pressure, and rainfall).

The last 8 years have been the hottest on record, with the global average temperature in the past 10 years about 1.1 degrees Celsius higher than 140 years ago, according to the report. American researchers believe that early indications are that the earth's warming is accelerating, and 2022 will be among the hottest ten years.

According to Berkeley Earth, a U.S.-based climate data analysis group, 1.8 billion people in 25 countries experienced the hottest year on record in 2021, including China, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Iran, Myanmar, South Korea and others.

Russell Wirth, head of climate monitoring at NOAA, said: "Unfortunately, we will see more extreme climates in a warming world, and global warming will make some extreme climates worse. ”
