First Global Warming in 1940’s
The topic of climate change seems to be never ending. Especially since any variations in weather patterns can at times be regarded as Global Warming.
Researchers have been able to reveal and accurately predict these first signs of extreme weather patterns. The insight also sheds light when it will occur again in the coming years.
The research published in Environmental Research Letters examined the average and extreme temperatures. It saw first global warming was already evident in the 1960s in parts of Australia and South East Asia. In Africa, it was evident in 1940’s. The smaller changes of average temperatures around these countries located near the tropic was the first signal. It later showed the correlation with extreme temperature events, the occurrence of climate change.
By 1980 to 2000 the temperature recorded in most parts of the world was already showing global warming was occurring. The Eastern Coast of the United States and up to the Midwest. These regions will be expecting their first warming in the next decade.
The researchers are predicting extreme heavy rainfall will appear during winters in Russia, Canada and Northern Europe over the next 10-30 years in which will give signs of global warming.
