5 Charts That Explain 2014's Record-Smashing Heat

Wired  

2014 was the hottest year since record-keeping began way back in the nineteenth century, according to reports released Friday by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. According to NASA, the Earth has now warmed roughly 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880, and most of that increase is the result of greenhouse gases released by humans. In 2014, Arctic sea ice reached its sixth lowest extent on record. According to NASA's Gavin Schmidt, the factors affecting sea ice in Antarctica—changes in wind patterns, for example—seem to be "more complicated" than in the Arctic, where temperatures and ice extent correlate strongly: So what's causing this dramatic warming trend?
