Fountain, Henry, et al. “2017 Was One of the Hottest Years on Record.” The New York Times, 18 Jan. 2018, www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/01/18/climate/hottest-year-2017.html.
In this article, it is explained how 2017 was the second-warmest year on record, since 1880. The warmest year, 2016, however, dealt with El Niño, which would have caused that year's dramatic increase in temperature. This event did not occur in 2017 though, causing NASA to confirm that temperatures are continuously rising. This article then includes facts about what effects this change has had on different areas of the world, such as, the Arctic warming twice as fast compared to other areas, and the eastern half of the United States having a February with above average temperatures.
