This is possibly the year with the most anomalies in temperature that is being recorded on Earth since we have proof of data. We wanted to show several images of global warming that confirm a reality that many of us fear and that undoubtedly will affect us, either in the near future or distant, we have to consider that the way of understanding the environment or respect it will have to change if we want prosper as a human society.
Here, it's not just about protecting change anymore climate change, which is an obvious priority, there are already other factors such as biodiversity that is in absolute decline, for give an example, and that we must begin to think and act differently in human activities that so much damage are doing.

The constant increase of the temperature of the Earth a such as greenhouse gases that accumulate in the atmosphere and trap more and more heat, they are bringing the planet to a point where the catastrophic consequences of warming may be practically insured.
A new graph produced by Ed Hawkins, a scientist from the University of Reading, (United Kingdom). It shows us a temperature evolution by months from 1850 to 2016 .
We can see in the image of the warm-up global of the previous Earth that evolution is not nothing good.
Actually, 2016 sets up a bad year with some records out of the ordinary and that according to scientists will be the most warm of all records available.
The warm weather it did in February and all the world alarms went off, was probably dominated by the warm conditions of the El Niño phenomenon, which tends to have peaks of heat in the troposphere near the month of February, but it seems that it is not the whole story here, since the tropical anomaly for February 2016 (0.99º C) is still approximately 0.3º C per below the value of February 1998, during the “Super El Child” this year.
At the same time, striking anomalies were recorded in the temperature of the surface terrestrial , outside the tropics, in the northern hemisphere, in some places reached 1.15 °C and 1.4 °C higher than the average, marking a "milestone".

This month the prestigious journal Science published a study by the Natural History Museum of London and UNEP-WCMC) in which it is verified that biodiversity and therefore Therefore, ecosystems are in imminent danger... “The loss of species diversity has reached dangerous levels in 58% of the earth's surface of the world»
This is actually the first report to estimate the loss of biodiversity of ecological communities at the scale global. This loss can influence the operation of the ecosystem (More information here) and in the sustainability of human societies, an example, in the cycle of nutrients, which is ecological recycling through the chain food.
Threatened species are found all over the world…
The Arctic has been one of the areas of the world that has seen extremely high temperatures this year, which has led to have low levels of sea ice . In the following two images can corroborate it.
We can learn more from the National Snow & Data Center (Here). We remember the wonderful video at the hands of the renowned composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi, who has performed a piece of music on a grand piano located in the middle of the Arctic to generate awareness about their protection. (From the article how to save the arctic)
Carbon dioxide levels are forecast to are on an alarming increase (Now over 400 ppm). concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have been breaking records for every year for decades, but the margin by which registration is expected will break an annual record in 2016. The increase is expected for 2016 it will be 3.1... compared to an annual average of 2.1.
