Northern hemisphere blazed in winters

Some really bizarre things are occurring across the globe. According to the US government report, the recent winters in the northern hemisphere was recorded as the warmest since records began. It was presented in a report focusing on the climate change.

The report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says, that the temperature of the land and the oceans when taken together from December to February were 1.3 degree Fahrenheit above average.

David Phillips, the senior climatologist for Environment Canada, says that Canada has a massive role in it. He said, “We have a huge amount of real estate in the world. So we certainly would be contributing to this warm record and what the Americans have come up with in this report”.

Many scientists have justified it giving the reason saying it is because of the global warming. According to them it is becoming a serious threat to the world, and it will, because of the actions of the human beings.

The Intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) concluded that an increasing body of observations gives a collective picture of a warming world and other changes in the climate system.

While North America and Europe where the science is strongest exhibits the highest density of indicators.

Scientists predicts that global warming will increase if emissions of heat trapping gases are not brought under control. Although most studies focus on the period up to 2100, warming and sea level rise are expected to continue for more than a millennium even if no further green house gases are released after this date.

The world's primary international agreement on combating global warming is the Kyoto protocol. The Kyoto Protocol is an amendment to the United Nation Framework Convention on climate change (UNFCCC).

Countries that ratify this protocol commit to reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases, or engage in emissions trading if they maintain or increase emissions of these gases. Developing countries are exempt from meeting emission standards in Kyoto. This includes China and India, the second and third largest emitters of CO2, behind the United States. The International Energy Agency predicts China will exceed total U.S. emissions in 2007 or 2008.
