In December last year at the UN Climate Change Conference , 195 countries agreed to circumscribe the global temperature increase to 1.5 ° C ( 2.7 ° F ) above pre - Industrial averages . But according   to a top NASA clime scientist , our chance of keep on that hope are “ very improbable ” due to a late raise in temperatures that   have been “ unprecedented in 1,000 class . ”

The latest data says this July was thewarmest monthever immortalize . That intelligence came after repeatedly ruin platter for monthly global temperature . Gavin Schmidt , director of NASA ’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies , has continually affirmed there is a 99 per centum chance that 2016 will be the warm year on book . In a late interview withThe Guardian , he give way on to explain that the commitment to keep Earth temperature within the agreed 1.5 ° C band is also looking progressively unbelievable ,   unless we apace   make considerable cut to carbon emissions or organize far-flung geoengineering projection .

“ In the last 30 age we ’ve really go into exceeding territory , ” Schmidt said in an interview withThe Guardian . “ It ’s unprecedented in 1,000 years . There ’s no period that has the vogue project in the twentieth one C in terms of the inclination ( of temperatures ) . ”

The recent information from NASA and the US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ) suggest that the warming temperatures experienced in late years are rising considerably higher than any menstruum over the past millennium .

These projections were made using both records dating back to 1880 and placeholder data from ice cores and sediments that   can give an indicant of Earth ’s temperatures throughout the past 1,000   year .

“ It ’s the foresightful - term trend we have to concern about though and there ’s no evidence it ’s going out and passel of reasons to intend it ’s here to stay , ” Schmidt added . “ There ’s no suspension or hiatus in temperature addition . multitude who think this is over are viewing the populace through rose - tinted specs . This is a chronic problem for society for the next 100 years . ”
