2019年是有記錄以來第二熱的一年,結束了地球上最熱的十年
Earth just had its second-hottest year in recorded history, ending the warmest decade ever measured, NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) researchers reported.
美國國家航空航天局(NASA)和美國國家海洋與大氣管理局(NOAA)的研究人員報告稱,地球剛剛經歷了有記錄以來第二熱的一年,結束了有史以來最熱的十年。

"If you think you've heard this story before — you haven't seen anything yet," Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said in announcing the report.
美國國家航空航天局戈達德太空研究所所長加文·施密特在公布該報告時說:“如果你認為以前聽過這個故事,那你現在還什么都沒看到。”
In 2019, temperatures around the world were second only to those of 2016. Surface temperatures were 1.8 degrees F (0.98 degrees C) warmer than the 1951 to 1980 mean, according to NASA.
2019年,全球氣溫僅次于2016年。據美國國家航空航天局稱,地表溫度比1951年至1980年的平均溫度高1.8華氏度(0.98攝氏度)。

"The decade that just ended is clearly the warmest decade on record," said Schmidt. "Every decade since the 1960s clearly has been warmer than the one before."
施密特說:“剛剛結束的十年顯然是有記錄以來最熱的十年。“自上世紀60年代以來,每十年的氣溫都明顯高于上世紀60年代。”
The past decade had eight of the top 10 hottest years on record. The decade saw a range of notable weather events including record heat waves, raging wildfires, extreme temperatures and melting ice. The only other years in the top 10 were 2005 and 1998, according to NOAA's Global Report.
過去10年有8年是有記錄以來最熱的10年。這十年見證了一系列顯著的天氣事件,包括創(chuàng)紀錄的熱浪、肆虐的野火、極端的溫度和融化的冰。根據美國國家海洋和大氣管理局的全球報告,前十名中僅有2005年和1998年。

地球變暖的趨勢可以在NASA的可視化圖中看到,它顯示了全球溫度是如何隨時間變化的。
"It's sobering to think that we might be breaking global temperature records in quick succession," Georgia Tech climate scientist Kim Cobb told the Associated Press. "2020 is off to a horrifying climate start, and I fear what the rest of the year will bring to our doorsteps."
佐治亞理工學院的氣候科學家金·科布告訴美聯社說:“想到我們可能會在短時間內連續(xù)打破全球氣溫記錄,真是發(fā)人深省。”“2020年是一個可怕的氣候開端,我擔心今年剩下的時間會給我們帶來什么。”
